When the project started we decided to keep #openstack as the primary channel since the project was small at the time.  Over the last year with the project growing, the traffic in the #openstack channel have increased quite a bit.

My proposal is that we separate out development talk into separate channels and keep #openstack as the place for new people to the project to ask questions and get help.  It might help separate a lot of the cross project talk.  I think it helps out for those trying to focus on a specific project and may actually get more talk to occur in the rooms.

I think you're totally right. There's 229 people in the channel right now.   Between all the bot chatter and chatter about project's that don't matter/relate to me, I've kind of stopped paying attention to the channel unless a few specific  keywords get said.
