Often the discussions there are about changes in the archive/Ubuntu Desktop/Server that are impacting flavors and it feels like using #ubuntu-devel would be better since then we would have a cross-groups shared space to resolve the problems. It would also help having a more active and engaging #ubuntu-devel channel.

Strong -1 on this. There are many discussions that only involve flavors, and thus should stay in that channel. Examples include but are not limited to:
  - Flavor syncs
  - Team-building between flavor members, and sharing of general information that does not involve development
  - @room pings for extremely important events that may not impact the wider Ubuntu Development community (we need specific socially-related flavor feedback from X, Y, Z)

The Flavor channel is hardly a development channel; this move would not make sense.

That being said, it **is** a requirement (*de facto*, soon to be *de jure*) that flavor leads stay in the Release channel, especially during critical times like releases and milestones. I think it makes sense to keep them separated.

Thanks,
