[IRCServices] JOIN 0 subject

I removed JOIN 0 support from my ircd, my network runs with 10 servers, I am
running services for 5 months, I have a 1600 nicks registered on 5 months
and I dint found any JOIN 0 unknown messages from any client, besides those
I used to test it :)
On large network probably if removing is going to be wiped out should be
using firs bye a ircd version that would just accept JOIN 0 from servers,
not client and finally when all network upgrade, all JOIN 0 support could be
removed.
Off curse on a distribution point of view for services I agreed they should
support JOIN 0 for ircd compatibility.
I would like to publish the URL from my services, that I expect not to be
considered as SPAM, I am publishing it here as a source of code to be
applied on Andy Church services by anyone interested in some of the
features, if you think this is not very wise, or breaks the subject of this
ML please let me know, in that case I will not do this again. My new version
of services: 1.2.0 available from http://www.plink.net/Coders/index.html
addresses some problems I think still exist on actual services.

P.S.: Sorry, about my english :)

I had also considered the impact of JOIN 0 to services with troublesome
bots..
Taking JOIN 0 out of the ircd isn't an option.. that could break some
clients 
that depend on JOIN 0 to part all chanenls- besides, I beleive most ircd 
distributions have this join command.. taking it out would be a problem :P
It just needs to be fixed (I havn't had any time to medle with the code 
lately)
