For anyone who didn't do the Phabricator/Gerrit archeology, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177427 was the task from about 1 year ago where we discussed and created #wikimedia-cloud-feed and then moved some of the more verbose bot traffic to it.
Splitting/merging irc channels is a thing that happens in various cycles, often seemingly because opinions are split nearly 50/50 on the value of all things in one place vs distraction caused by automated messages. The advantage tends to go to whomever is boldly proposing change and willing to push for consensus with their current point of view. My personal opinion varies by channel and primary audience, but I'm generally in favor of #wikimedia-cloud being as friendly as possible for humans to talk to each other.
