Please have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList , which
(hopefully) lists all our channels. Your suggestion would make all of
them "core channels", save the few explicitly offtopic channels. I'm
afraid we would have a hard time managing the resulting workload. :-)

Also note that being "core" is not connected to being "important", as
stated in my original message.

I think, and I may be wrong, that we do have an idea of what the core
channels should be (and that they pretty much are already listed in the
Scope wiki page). We're not looking to change this vague idea but define
it. New channels may, however, be required at some point in the future
(of which we know little about!) and a clear definition would be useful
at that point.

Cheers,

Juha
