I think the good citizen thing to do for freenode would be to host a

But the above points do give me serious pause and are good points. What
do other think?
I'd be -1 to this as well. The machine would pretty much be an
exception to how everything else is managed, and like with the pastebin,
spam and abuse are something I'd rather not have to deal with.
Nigel's point about sponsors intending for their donations to benefit
Fedora is seems pretty big as well - it seems like they could be
donating their servers directly instead (and some seem to do so
already).
Thanks,
