Question #107095 on SpartaX changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/spartax/+question/107095

    Status: Open => Solved

Chazz P. Wolcott confirmed that the question is solved:
Sparta Project, as well as Chazz Wolcott (Lead developer of SpartaX),
agree that SSL is only actually useful on IRC in the following scenario:

*) All clients connecting to the IRC network are using SSL
*) All servers on the IRC network are using SSL
*) All clients either do not log, or are encrypting their logs
*) All IRCds and related software are encrypting their logs, or not logging

Since none of the members of Sparta Project have EVER seen a network
which fits the above scenario, we have taken the stance that SSL is
mostly pointless.
