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.
