Yes, thanks for the reminder. I think we had previously agreed this would be a sensible way of engineering it. I suppose the last time it came up was in the pre-OpenDev days, but I still think having it be a general OpenDev signal as to where we're maintaining our service bots makes sense, and makes future relocations easier. This is what irc.gnome.org does, for example (it's currently a CNAME to irc.gimp.org). [...]
Though as dansmith correctly pointed out in #openstack-infra just now, this would break some IRC-over-SSL configurations (unless the CNAME could get added as a SubjectAltName in the server cert somehow, which would require us to negotiate that with the operators of the networks in question, making this a not particularly nimble solution). -- Jeremy Stanley
