Hello,
Today the wikibugs bot sends patches to #wikimedia-cloud and bugs to #wikimedia-cloud-feed.
I would like to propose that we only have the wikibugs bot broadcasting things on #wikimedia-cloud-feed.
This would have a few benefits, in my opinion:
* #wikimedia-cloud gets more space for undistracted conversations * #wikimedia-cloud-feed becomes the sole source for updates (easier mental processing for some people like me)
Does anyone have any concerns with this proposal?
Thank you,
With absolutely no useful knowledge of why it is in -cloud to begin with, I blithely second the proposal :-D It would be much easier to read conversations there without it in there. It probably will clutter -could-feed even more, but that seems ok?

I'm not convinced about the first benefit listed, wikibugs has sent two messages into that channel over the past three hours. Join/quit messages take up far more space.

Side note: I /ignore wikibugs on IRC :-/ it's too noisy for me. I don't want that much information, gives me anxiety :-P

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.

Thanks everybody for your feedback on this proposal.
I've reconfigured Wikibugs to send Gerrit updates to #wikimedia-cloud-feed. Let's give it some time and reconsider if necessary.
