[IRCServices] Paradigm question

     If you mean "reason", it's just simplicity.  Founders and roots are
both special cases, and special cases take special handling, which makes
the program more complex.  In both cases, other users can gain those
privileges using passwords (CS IDENTIFY or OS SU), so I don't see any real
need for the extra handling which would be needed to allow multiple such
users (and it would hurt maintainability [is that the right word?] too).
