Dale, there are plenty of hard-working Debian folks who spend time in the IRC channel. Richard Braakman, Manoj, Joey Schulze, Joey Hess, Jason Gunthorpe, Ray "JHM" Dassen, Igor Grobmann... I know I'm forgetting several -- no denigration of their hard work is intended. I think you are mischaracterizing the developers who utilize the IRC channel, and it does not strengthen your argument. To what extent the policy manual should be a "guideline", and to what extent it should be a "standard", is an issue to which IRC has no relevance. -- G.
