Then let me provide clear guidance:
For 9.10, please conceptualise a *blacklist for IM notification* and
implement that in Pidgin and other supported IM clients. We would
include NickServ in that list, as well as other common service names.
Anyone who uses that as a nick on IRC, loses. The blacklist may be
editable, but only through gconf or some other behind the scenes tool,
for the moment.
