I absolutely back this idea of a very minimalistic and least move to
another network, be OFTC.
For the exact reason that we have a large community that periodically uses
our IRC channels, we can't just make a big bang in urgency and we need to
define a reasonable transition plan for ensuring that nobody gets lost in
the middle.

Also, from what I can read, there is no matter of urgency for such of a big
move. I'd suggest us to continue using Freenode channels for a while, with
a clear redirect message explaining visitors that we moved (and where they
can find us now).
