Yes. The original text:

"IRC has been a good solution for a long time, but it has centralized servers 
KDE cannot control. It is also insecure and lacks features users have come to 
expect from more modern IM services."

...has been replaced with:

"IRC has been a good solution for a long time, but our channels are currently 
on servers KDE cannot control. It also lacks features users have come to 
expect from more modern IM services."

The article is alright now.
