While encrypted dcc chat would be certainly very valuable (while I
don't have anything to hide, I don't like Echelon looking over my
shoulder (or feds poring over the server logs)), encrypting
client-server traffic would make trivial interception of cleartext
impossible, and would generically increase encrypted data traffic in
the Net.

The more high-entropy data streams are out there and the more diverse
they are, the better, imo.
