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).

Some folks will probably still want to use the traditional IRC
network names in their clients if they're joining channels for other
communities which happen to exist on that same network, but for
anyone who is only joining channels related to projects hosted in
OpenDev I suppose it's a reasonable solution. If you're involved in
multiple IRC-using communities on the same network, you're probably
proficient enough with IRC and querying DNS to know what you're
doing in that regard and work it out for yourself anyway.
