We have literally thousands of people that come on IRC every day to
get support, and many many of these have never used IRC before. As
Mackenzie has mentioned, do you really want to do away by default with
the only realtime tech support that ubuntu offers?

It is very important that we have a simple to use, but still
technically capable client for those people seeking support.
