Jen, You read into my mind... Exactly the same concerns: practicalities & fragmentation
If people would like to have a place to informal chat nobody could prevent them. However I have a few concerns. In particular, segmentation of the information. IRC would one more communication channel to track (and it is not the best one if you would like to find out what happened while you've been on vacation, for example). We do not have so much traffic on ipv6 mailing list so I do not see a use case for offloading informal discussions to IRC channel to increase signal/noise ratio.
If someone would like to have an informal chat about IPv6 @irc - there are IPv6-related channels around so I'm inclined to use Occam's razor here ;)
