I think that's a limitation which will also applies to other IRC networks, therefore we have to live with that limitation or run our own IRC network. I can't say that I prefer the latter one ... we're a quite good in running our distribution - but would we be also that good in running our own IRC network? I guess not ... > > 2.

Given the fact that the concern spb raised in the meeting is a non-problem, at least until Freenode changes its policy in that aspect, i see no problem with pointing irc.g.o to irc.freenode.net. Plus irc.g.o. in some way points to Freenode servers already irc.gentoo.org canonical name = irc.osuosl.org. irc.osuosl.org is an A record for 140.211.166.3 and 140.211.166.4 which are both Freenode boxes.
