I was sharing my experience as a staff member (where you have a little bit more to do with IRC daemons than users) of OPN, in particular, as a member of the conversion team (which had a LOT more to do with dancer-ircd than your average user). I was pointing out a great deal of flaws. I'm not slighting the amount of work Andrew has put in; I'm only stating that I don't feel the end result is fit for Debian's default IRCd, because of my experience with how unstable dancer proved to be during my time with OPN. As for your "let's shit on anything related to Freenode" slight, I doubt it very much. If I wanted to be bitter, there's other networks to direct my bitterness at. This is also not the "let's put words into Daniel's mouth" mailing list, yet I don't see you moving off. I provided concrete examples as to huge dancer balls-ups (indeed, one so great it forced Andrew to revert to ircu, losing the conversion team 48 hours of monotonous work), and all you have provided is a couple of pithy slights.

I can't think of a more appropriate list to discuss the choice of Debian's *default* *ircd*.
