There is actually a better way for supporting IRC. Enable one of the
common irc bouncers to report mentionings
of nicknames/topics etc. via our push notification infrastructure.
With that, the common case of connection loss on a mobile device
will not affect user experience and you can enjoy all your irc logs
from all your devices without issues.

We will be able to share information about this feature in the not
too-distant future.
