You don't have to limit yourself to picking between user_u or guest_u.
You can create another role, such as "fedorauser_u" that is basically
guest_u, except you can then add specific policies via SELinux roles,
such as:
irc_role(fedorauser_t, fedorauser_r)
Which should let them run an IRC client such as irsii.
On the other hand, just setting user_u is a good start and a lot less
work.
Except it is more or less where we are now.
ie: user can run stuff but they cannot put any exec or suid files in
any place they can write.
The debate is not about whether or not to enable this - it is about
whether we need to allow network connections at all.
Allowing irc out or ssh tunnels is not significant more safety
over just allowing general network communication, afaict.
