    This is *absolute* nonsense. The IRC was *totally invaluable* for the resolution of that problem. Without it, resolving the issue would have taken an order of magnitude longer. Those who could contribute something were glued to the screens, those who knew they had nothing to offer at that precise moment *shut up*. Suggestions came thick and fast; confirmations, rebuttals, and "interesting - I'll go grep" likewise. I know of no other medium which would have been so effective.

    > issues being handled (somewhat) out of public view

    If you think we should be discussing things like settings from files in /etc/ *in public*, and logs in /var/log/ then you're *mad*.
