And how, exactly, is the painfully simple act of registering an IRC
nickname, taking all of a grand total of 30 seconds (if you type slowly) as
described in a prior e-mail, a barrier?
Get real, Justin. This is no more a barrier than signing the FAS; in fact,
it's probably less of one.
Further, there's a reason that unregistered nicks do not get into #fedora,
but I don't know what it is exactly. Does anyone have any background on
this?

The reason a lot of channels started the registration barrier is to stop the
number of spambots that suddenly arose on Freenode. Registered spam bots are
easier to mute or ban :)
I'm not sure if spam is still an issue in Freenode, I haven't seen one in
months.
