Nick delay



What do you think of the idea of unlocking a locked nick when another server introduces a nick of the same name? This would avoid the following minor issue:
 
Some remote client gets temporarily netsplit, then returns and QUITs normally:
*** NickA has quit IRC (irc.whatever1.net irc.whatever2.net)
*** NickA has rejoined #Channel
*** NickA has quit IRC (leaving)
 
Someone locally now tries to use NickA:
/nick NickA
*** NickA Nick/channel is temporarily unavailable
 
I'm sure there's probably a good reason for not unlocking the nick (which I'll realise as soon as I click 'send' on this email), but I thought I'd mention this anyway... :)
