Well, there's the problem that the existing IRC protocol scales just about a
poorly as one could get (the only one I can think of that scales worse is
Usenet).

Thinking outside the box for something "IRC-like" that has a much better
underlying server <=> server protocol (perhaps even without breaking the
server <=> client protocol) is a necessity, IMO.
