Since the people who founded #drupal-dev are the ones who rocked the boat, I believe it is their responsibility to steer us to our final destination. So what's it going to be? Are you guys going to hang out in #drupal and answer support questions all day? Or are you going to come back to the fold?

i don't see how this follows. i'm guessing most left precisely because they didn't want to answer support questions, and #drupal spends a fair portion of it's time fending them off. the response seems logical to me, given their objective.
