Though IRCs were / are a really helpful media, but given the changing scenario, we can have the similar benefits in much more powerful ways (with support for videos, image and paintings ), the point is that a user who comes on the fedora website should not have to go searching for the IRC login (less technically savvy people don't even know what IRC is), wouldn't it be awesome if she can talk to the community (and other visitors) right from the fedora website ?
I hope it's readily apparent to you that your demo shows poor A11Y fit to a modestly high DPI environment: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/confaber-2560x1440x144.png . I can only imagine how much worse its fit to current and future Retina-class environments!
I see no indicated improvement over any other browser chat encounter I've had. All have been failures, usually total. Like most of what shows up in browser viewports, it's apparently designed for designers to look at, not for actual web users to read its content.
OTOH, a web page with a simple chat link (irc://) can open a tab or window in Chatzilla or other IRC client, and enjoy a superior fit to the local environment.
All that said, if your product is intended for one-on-one-type support, as I suspect it is, I don't see Fedora's web site as a candidate no matter how good it might be, and this on top of the up-thread mention that Fedora is FOSS and your product is not.
