Slightly OT: We should move #xorg off of FreeNode

[Ely Levy]

I don't think there is a need to be over dramatic,
first of all you can start #xorg channel on whatever network you feel
like. Second where did you see that infomation on?Did you try talking to
him?What reason did he have for doing so?Is it perm or many just
temporary?
Till all those questions are answered I don't really any reason to start
packing. Even if you are right btw there other solutions.

I think you should invest more efford into thinking the situation before
sending an email which seriously lacking information about us not having
any choise.
