Also FWIW I don't see any relevant occurrence of cppcheck/vm140 in my
#tdf-infra and #libreoffice-dev 2020/2021 IRC logs.  Might have happen
during a netsplit/disconnect/vacation, but IRC workflow is not “fire and
forget”, if the message is not acked then don't assume it's been seen
let alone will be acted upon.

I'm very much against re-hooking a box that has not been maintained for
years to the main infrastructure and pretend all is well.

It's never been about being unable to regain access…
