I did say deprecated! Okay okay, we may never be able to fully deprecate irc.wikimedia.org. It’s used by too many (probably sentient by now) bots out there.
I monitor irc.wikimedia.org and it has proven itself to be highly reliable for many years in production, which is a lot more than can be said for any of these proposed alternatives. I'm glad to hear that irc.wikimedia.org will be left alone. If people want to be nasty and call irc.wikimedia.org deprecated, I suppose that's fine, as long as it remains the functional and dependable (and completely quirky) API it continues to serve as.
