Something similar has already happened with Bottler/Blotter XDCC scripts ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottler_ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottler_(IRC_client) ).
Bottler authors wanted channels to "opt out" by putting strings in the topic, but most channels instead implemented scripts that detect and kickban Bottlers.
