Oh really?
They are running out of IP4 addresses, that is 4,294,967,296 addresses. There are 1,500 IRC servers. Therefore, the entire market for IRC server programs is less than 0.000035% of the market for software (for machines on the Internet). Linux share of that would be 30% or less. UnRealIRCd share of that, lets be generous, perhaps 25%. UnRealIRCd for Linux is of interest to 0.0000026% of the market, at best.
[sarcasm]Big deal indeed.[/sarcasm]
In reality, 0.0000026% interest is obscure by anyone's definition.
