IRC between developer A and user B would be fine for user B but bad for
user C, D, E, F, G, H.  It may also be a waste of developer's A time.
Same as with personal mail.

anyway.  They hang out on channels with topics more focused than just
"linux kernel" because the discussions which go over IRC typically have
a narrower focus than that.
