IRCops have a long history of being change-averse and vitriolic. This just looks like more of the same.

  I'm just so baffled, since it is almost literally just creating a certificate and you are done (I run a couple of IRC servers myself). Even a self-signed certificate is better than none at all.

    You're talking about people who make heavily-entrenched ideologies about minor technical distinctions into an Olympic-level contest of stubbornness and scorn.

    Get a certificate, and add some scary code to your stack (openssl requires a lot of attention), and seriously restrict the number of connections per second you can handle. It's inconvenient to restart all your connections because you need to apply an openssl patch, it's when worse when all the tls handshakes increase the time to get everyone back online when you do.
