This I'm not too sure on, though I'm leaning toward unregistered. A light
tap could send me going in the other direction on that one, though. ;)

Agreed, definitely.

I would say "no" here, unless you want to change how dropping channels
works internally. If you're just setting another flag in ci->flags for
it, then dropping it will effectively unsuspend it unless you check for
the flag first. My reasoning here is that it's probably something the
founder did or allowed to happen that got the channel suspended in the
first place. :P

There's no reason to, since it's apparently turning a blind eye to the
channel everywhere else. ;)
