I think the above is perfectly fine and it has nothing to do with
OpenStack. What Stefano (and all of us) is trying to understand is why
part of our community needed a private IRC channel for "core
reviewers" to hangout together. For the later, I don't think there's a
use case.

I'm not arguing on the general use case for a private IRC channel, I'm
arguing on the need of such channels for a specific set of core
reviewers.
