I usually refrain from suggesting us to side with anybody in a
confrontation that is outside our main mission, but I do not mind
supporting the folks who were at freenode to show appreciation for
the service they gave us so far, by moving to where they are now.

If all candidates offer similar level of stability and archival,
that is.

Thanks.
