#FSF and #GNU #IRC channels to leave #Freenode. It was supposed to be an orderly transition with officially sponsored channels to be replaced with unofficial '##channelname' channels, but Freenode seized those channels suddenly.
Later on, they changed server software without transferring the user & channel databases, so every user and project choosing to remain there had to re-create from scratch.
