Update on this, there's been some comments on IRC/real life, but this
thread hasn't been updated.

We still haven't decided this "to what extent do we support IRC if at
all?" and as that's clearly an issue it's a main topic of our official

they're both valid and sensible. Hopefully a face-to-face debate will
sort this finally.
