Ron's comment ([IRCServices] Services 4.5.29 released)

[Finny Merrill]

I completely agree,  TKL glines are not the best thing for services
to use. As a matter of fact, I think they were designed for the sole
purpose of running without services.

If unreal had something like bahamut's timed AKILL, then I would use that.

Unreal already has ZLINE and AKILL commands, so using TKL is just 
redundant, the only thing I could think of would be for adding shuns
via services, which has the same problems.

However, TKL does have good things about it. If TKL is supported, I want
to see all three global modes (s, G, and Z) supported. Z mode so
far is not implemented in ANY piece of software.

I personally prefer TKL over the AKILL and ZLINE commands, as it generally
works much better. But ron has a good point, it does have that 
server-squit error thingy.
