Freenode hitting the news reminded me to get my IRC client out and
replace the auto-join with libera.chat.

It's only the first few days but it seems that quite a few projects have
already dumped freenode in favour of libera.chat.

It looks like the #exim channel has been registered, but that may have
been the network ops reserving all of the known namespaces to avoid spam
registrations.

The ops have been quite good at handing them off to the maintainers of
the projects upon request.

The water seems fine - come on in.
