I have no problem with them. Please read what I wrote, I do *not*
have problems with eggdrops in general, I run two. I *do* have a
problem with dpkg[the bot], and I mentioned it because netgod was
trying to champion it as some paragon of the Forces of Good. But a
discussion of #debian's bots has no place on debian.devel.
My point is that, yes, I know eggdrops can do good things, *but* that
doesn't change my opinion that we shouldn't be providing pre-packaged
versions of them (because it doesn't change the fact that pre-packaged
versions raise the specter of every joe luser and his friends dumping
ill-configured bots onto irc).
