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.
