The only case not covered by your questions is where an IRC client |
| 6 |
might autojoin #gentoo@libera (Smuxi does this with #smuxi) in which |
| 7 |
case we want to update it. |

No, I think this is a bit too opinionated. The exception would be if upstream |
| 14 |
made made this change but it's not yet in a release. |

What we may want to do is add a one-off elog about Gentoo's support |
| 17 |
services being on Libera and/or a link to our page about this: |

No, this is too opinionated and some channels are staying there (even if |
| 30 |
they'll move later). |

Yes, as it's a new and very prominent network and most IRC clients don't seem to have had |
| 37 |
a new release since its birth. |
