I'm not trying to impose anything, I'm just trying to improve how
things work on the IRC side by discussing a possible change with the
community, nothing more, nothing less. Nothing has been decided at all
and if someone raises a concern the community should discuss and try
to find a solution or a deal, that's how things work. No one is here
to impose anything but just to improve how things work.
