[IRCServices] Nickname access masks

[Strider]

Does this mean immed nick kill will be removed as well? I've use immed on my
nick on my server, and the access list, and there are other users who do as
well. Now, I know the next question is probably not the smartest, but just a
reminder type thing in case this is implemented...if access lists are
removed and immed is removed, will there be something in the db conversion
to changed nicks with immed set on to the default or the shorter one?
