My take on the intention of this patch: _IF_ there really is demand for such a feature then we should probably implement it without imposing any restrictions, i.e. the nick name list should be as large as needed.
Agreed, in principle.
On CodingStyle: this is largely open to debate. Basically ngircd has an "old" style (very long functions, long lines, you-know-it-when-you-see-it) and a "new" style (similar to Linux Kernel CodingStyle). Always use the "new" style, even when editing "old-style" code.
Comments? Are people interested in the "Nick Blacklist" Option?
Checking, it's something that a couple of other ircds provide... but just because they do, should ngircd?
Part of me thinks it makes sense to set it in the daemon config, another things that a sensible service/bot should kick/re-nick/cycle the idiots using 'their' nicks, and claim for themselves.
