I wouldn't be too sure, but I believe these 'features' (name it as you
like..) are already in use on .fr servers excepted for ircnet.eurecom.fr
(yes, the one and only non vanity .fr server on IRCNet).

I wouldn't be surprised to see both following servers running engerim's
mods within a couple of days;

- ircnet.kaptech.com (Kaptech / Worldnet France Paris)
- irc1.fr.ircnet.net (IRCNet Villette-Paris)
