*** Update IRC-related references to point to Libera.Chat.
-In June 2021, the Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project moved
-their official IRC channels from the Freenode network to Libera.Chat
-in the aftermath of the changes in Freenode's governance structure and
-policies in May and June 2021. The decision-making process took into
-account the feedback received from the community against a set of
-criteria devised by a working group drawn from both GNU and the FSF
-to gauge a chat network's acceptability to software freedom activists.

-For the original announcement and the follow-up update, including more
-details, see:
