My take is that to some extent the protocol itself is enshrined in a kind of historical gravitas that makes it politically hard to modify. People assume that IRC as a protocol is not fantastically outdated and it's architecture is inherently distributed and fault tolerant. Even if those things are not really true (at least not at the levels that other moder modern systems would be considered at), people hold onto the belief. |
