Since we've had this discussion over the past week, I've added it to 
today's sync call agenda. It seems like we have a number of people in 
favor of the idea, but I figured it's probably best to continue with the 
call for this week, and come to a solid, announced conclusion/decision, 
before shifting to IRC (if in fact that is what's agreed-upon.)

We should also double check to make sure everyone on the call is 
familiar with IRC, and get a bot in #ovirt (or #ovirt-meeting) if 
necessary. (Though, IMO, it's helpful to have a bot in channel, 
regardless - it's nice to be able to capture spontaneous discussions 
with meetbot.)
