IRCv3 would rather worry more about STS (the solution: DEPRECATE PLAINTEXT, EVERY DECENT NETWORK SUPPORTS SSL) than solve real problems
I tried to fix numerics, and I got almost nowhere.

They would rather bicker over STS, because proposals of any substance or genuine improvement basically die on arrival because one of two things happens with every proposal:
1) Major stakeholder is like "THIS SUCKS I AM NEVER IMPLEMENTING THIS"
2) Insistence that "THEY SHOULD CONFORM TO WHAT WE'RE DOING"
and I care about IRC but I just, I can't deal with that kind of "standardisation".
yes, in general, despite ircv3's current hatefest, the charybdis team was actually the one most open to trying to prototype the proposed specs.
