IRC has its uses, but for anything coming even close to be used for official use, it's useless ... I wouldn't want to set up a server/client to stay constantly connected, logging 99% junk just to keep up with anything that MAY come up that's important ... could you imagine the turmoil around 2015-1 if IRC had been used for part of the official discussion? -garry
