Comment (by duffy):

 Thanks for a well-reasoned friendly reply, I know this topics can get
 heated.

 I think it's not really feasible to change the nick changing conventions
 across all #fedora- channels, let alone the many upstream development
 channels I'm a part of. It's just not going to happen and is not a viable
 solution if you want folks involved in other areas of Fedora to
 participate in #fedora. It seems to serve to maintain the insular status
 quo.

 I don't know how to get people to pay more attention to /away messages; it
 seems many clients do not handle them.

 I do not understand why nick changes can't be silenced, either with a
 channel setting or individual's client settings if they are that
 distracting.

 Some of the upstream channels I frequent do deal with enduser issues. In
 fact, some of the upstream channels or other #fedora- channels have
 visitors who say they have been referred to those channels by #fedora. I
 do not see such a big difference between 300 and 450 people; to me this
 seems a similar scale.
