I recently set up ircd at work (I tried dancerd too and I have the same
opinion about both).  What a horrible disaster.  Compile-time options
that should really be at run-time, little flexibility in logging and
monitoring the daemon (except for the &NOTICES channels and such but
there's no real programatic way of listening to those that I know of).
The config file format nearly rivals that of sendmail's and the options
are not very obvious in many places.

Besides, all those splits and problems on irc.freenode.net are really
getting to me.  If you wrote a really good daemon they might use it;
lilo has been by #lisp more than once.  ;-)
