I also prefer we opt for an #openstack-tc channel. A channel is defined
by the topic of its discussions, and #openstack-dev is a catch-all, a
default channel. Reusing it for topical discussions will force everyone
to filter through random discussions in order to get to the
really-TC-related ones. Yes, it's not used much. But that isn't a good
reason to recycle it.

If you need a ping list to reuse the default channel as a TC "office
hours" channel, that kind of proves that a dedicated channel would be
more appropriate :)
