it was never a goal to have the reop be "fair", the goal was
to make it random (and not too predictable).

the server should not reop restricted clients, but if you
look closely at the logic used, you'll find it can be
improved but not entirely fixed: the server will eventually
reop remote clients for which it does not know if they are
restricted or not.

if you have a diff, please send it (preferrably to ircd-dev@xxxxxxx).
