As I remember it, the previous IRC Council's thought about core channels was
the direct support channels and their corresponding -offtopics and -devels
for ubuntu, its Officially supported derivatives and recognized derivatives,
as shown on this page:
http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/derivatives . There was a
provision to add also other busy channels within the #ubuntu-* namespace, as
the IRCC saw fit.

I'm not saying this must be the way its done, but I think that it provides a
good basic framework.

Cheers
