Hi Kurt,

I had similar feelings about the survey, it didn't quite capture my
sentiment.  For me, it's more that I have set up IRC, but the OpenBMC
project is my only use case for IRC.  With so many communication channels,
IRC seems to fall to the background.  It's also hard to review past
activity in IRC, other tools like slack make it much easier to look at
threads retrospectively.

Thanks!
