   On review, the original text says:
   
   Cloaks for Libera Chat are available in committers/docs/libera-cloaks.txt
   
   There is no notion give of what a Cloak is, or why someone would want one. 
There's also no notion of what "committers/docs/libera-cloaks.txt" is - that's 
not a URL. It's not a reference to anything obvious. It assumes knowledge, but 
gives no way to obtain that knowledge. I would strenuously challenge the notion 
that the text I removed was *in any way* useful to someone who didn't *already* 
know the information. Without a reference to what a cloak is, or what 
"committers/docs/libera-cloaks.txt" is, this is just noise, and absolutely 
*should* be removed unless it is enhanced with a link to definitions.
   
   If I was not already an IRC user, and read that paragraph, I would roll my 
eyes at the gatekeeper-ness of it, and just wait for my ballot to arrive.
   
   But like I said, I hope that it's moot by this time next year, and will be 
devoting my further involvement in this topic to ensuring that it is.
   
   Your stop-energy around improving the existing process is perplexing and 
discouraging.
