There! this sentence has two very important points worth highlighting:

1- when people say IRC they mean IRC + a hack to overcome its limitation
2- IRC+znc is complex, not many people are used to it

I never used znc, refused to install, secure and maintain yet another
public facing service. For me IRC is: be there when it happens or read
the logs on eavesdrop, if needed.

Recently I found out that there are znc services out there that could
make things simpler but they're not easy to join (at least the couple I
looked at).

Would it make sense to offer znc as a service within the openstack project?
