Re: Expiring channel founder takes channel(s) with them

Somehow I don't like the idea of it "just passing on to the next one",
without any kind of inteference, but then again, if we just made it warn 
the users, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it anyway.

So I suppose with this way, the access list remains intact.

There is more "complicated" ways to handle this, but none I will start 
yacking about, as it shouldn't be complicated, this is nice and simple.
