Hey, don't underestimate the work Philip Kaludercic has done in rcirc
lately, e.g., support for several IRCv3 features, and support for SASL
authentication!  Also note that "rcirc" is almost part of his lastname
which suggests a bright future, doesn't it?

I think that's off the table.  Users who always used M-x irc RET
shouldn't face a situation where another client is invoked and their
configs are disregarded.
