These are my thoughts exactly.
What John described seems to me to fit perfectly the current scope of 
#ubuntu-irc.

If #ubuntu-irc is not currently used as much or as well as it should, then the 
solution is not duplicating it and hoping the new name will attract people 
more. The solution is using it.

I have to say that when I was around and pushing it, I had succeeded in 
getting some LoCo people active on it; then it faded down, also helped 
by "changes in power" in various LoCo channels. Well - so fix it, don't ditch 
it. Back in the time, I spammed every LoCo channel owner with a MemoServ 
about it: people didn't just magically know about it, join and talk.
