so from your point, it's more a matter of "freenode sucks because
we've lost control of the official qemu channel" and "OFTC works
because we currently have active developers who control the official
qemu channel".  so when control is lost on OFTC, where to next ?  i
vote for EFnet.

considering they have volunteer servers from organizations that get
money for other reasons already, i dont think they're going to
implode.  or if they do, you then have an argument that no one can
defend -- "let's move to OFTC because freenode no longer exists".
