It's worth highlighting that OFTC doesn't support SASL, and also many major FOSS projects have bet the farm on Libera. Do we want to be OFTC just because, or do we want to go where all the major projects have gone?
"All" is a stretch, there were plenty of free/libre open source projects on OFTC long before this latest episode of Freenode drama. Also OFTC isn't being suggested "just because." We've been making provisions to relocate our services to OFTC for over 7 years in case something ever happened to sufficiently offset the pain of moving (getting people to update their client configs, editing all our contributor docs...), with general acknowledgement from the community that it would have been a better choice for us from the beginning had we actively selected a network. -- Jeremy Stanley
