+# IRC bouncer
+
+Because the IRC bouncer hosted on chat.sr.ht cannot be restarted without
+killing all connections (both upstream and downstream), the restarts should be
+performed as seldom as possible. During the public beta, our goal is to not
+reboot more than once per week, except in cases of security vulnerabilities and
+other urgent issues. The reboot is announced 1h in advance via an IRC
+bouncer-wide broadcast (`/msg BouncerServ server notice <message>`).
+
+Before upgrading soju on chat.sr.ht, the new version should be tested for a
+while on a smaller instance to catch regressions.
+
+After the beta, our goal is to stick to quarterly upgrades.
