That doesnt have to mean that upstream have to set it to freenode.
The patch does the right thing in setting a default network when nothing
has been set already. 
However i dont see why the network has to be freenode when none of gnome
channels are on freenode. 
IMO /freenode/ is a distro setting, each distro should just change it to
which ever they use.

Same was done when Pidgin was default[thanks bilal], when it was the
default. The network was changed to Ubuntu for Ubuntu.

If upstream wants to do it, its nice but still weird. ;)
