Erm, put down the flamethrower. IRC was just an example. Really this is just a tooling question of whether it's overall more convenient to have Bodhi use IDs and then implement convenience scripts/tools wherever we refer to the updates which can identify them - like a bot in IRC, and a modification to the updates-testing email to make it use the old format, etc - or whether it's better to have Bodhi use NEVRs and then have to somehow deal with the problem of updates with dozens of packages, and the problem of updates which are edited to include *different* NEVRs. Whichever one turns out to be the most efficient solution is what we'll go with, I'm sure. No-one's out to get you.
