Even more context: they no longer have staff that understands the IRCd that they're currently running (because they quit and started Libera) and they no longer are in the good graces of any of the other folks who could help them: https://twitter.com/ariadneconill/status/1404383392154726405

So I'd bet that they don't have the technical skill to migrate the registrations, whether or not they wanted to.

It seems there are currently 3 Freenodes: half the old one (still up with services), the other half (no services), and the new one (the only one on the DNS rotation).

Given the current state of things, I'm pretty sure they have no idea what they're doing.
