Perhaps so. However if someone constantly idles, we forget who people
are. I'm sure the affected op understands the problems that idlers in
#ubuntu-ops can cause, and that a few minutes of inconvenience for him
is irrelevant.

That topic has been there for some time, at least since the IRC
Council's creation. It has been enforced by more than half of us. (I'm
reasonably sure that infact not one member of the Council have a problem
with this practice but I can't check for definite at this time because
of timezones.) As always, the practice is up for discussion in -ops or
at the next council meeting if you have any queries or suggestions.
