     Too easy to use for memo bombs:

/cs set #channel founder VictimNick
/cs set #channel founder MyNick
/ms del all
/cs set #channel founder VictimNick
...

     I can see an argument for invalidating the old password and requiring
the new founder to set a new password, but that's a significant change that
wouldn't be implemented before version 5.1, if at all.
