I hate to be the voice of inertia again, but I don't see why we should.

What does it get us, other than maintainace work and another potential
way
to get owned?

I'm Probably the newbie here, but anyway, I disagree. I think that the
maintenance work is why we should. I mean that it is the maintenance
that helps us to develop both the ircd and as linux users. Though I
suppose there is no practical use for us to run an ircd, but its
something to do...
