Not so much these days. There have been brief discussions every now
and again, but the #evolt channel has always been more closely
aligned with thechat than anything. It's like a coffee shop where
people occasionally talk shop.
Like you say, it's been used in the past to grab an admin for server/
mailing list issues and to chew the fat about issues arising on here
(although the latter happens less and less), but as I remember it,
all votes and in-depth discussions took place here so there was a
record of what was said and the resolution that we decided on (the
right way to do it IMO, paper trails are a big plus for an org such
as this).
