Re: Proposal: DNS change irc.gnome.org becomes A record and irc.gimpnet.org starts getting phased out.

Seriously, can everyone relax and not take every little detail so
seriously? I'm all for advertising irc.gnome.org in our websites etc.
But there's really no need to take down DNS entries and whatnot.

And this why you can't ever win. There will always be something that's
offensive for someone in this planet so yeah just don't bother too
much.

If someone you're speaking to takes it offensively you can certainly
explain why the name is how it is. People aren't stupid and will
understand.

And btw, if you have to speak about the GIMP you can also pronounce it
as /ʒɪmp/ instead of /gɪmp/ or just spell it out G I M P.
