It's a feature that a good irc client has been removed from the distro,
because irc is not a particularly common use case. MSN is much more
common as a chat protocol, and since Gaim does both, it's a better
option than shipping two chat programs.
It's easy for those that like irc to install other programs.

They should be told to install xchat, or another good irc client.
That is my opinion, at least.
