This is because you don’t know what features we intend on providing in the future.
As was mentioned in the other thread, the current channel chat system will remain IRC for the foreseeable future. Other messaging features will not, because IRC is not an appropriate technology for providing these features. Without knowing what those features are, you have no basis in assuming IRC is an acceptable solution for them.
I’m closing this thread as there’s nothing else any of us can add to the conversation - in the future please avoid starting new threads to reply to closed ones. Thanks!
