I don't think it's a good idea. I'm not in #gnewsense to provide free support, 
I'm there to chat with people who think the same way I do concerning free 
software. I might help somebody if I have the opportunity, but that's not the 
main reason for being there. If the channel gets split I don't think I'd enter 
#gnewsense. If other people think like I do then you'd be actually loosing 
support people.

Besides, I don't think the channel is crowded enough to need the split. The 
offtopic in #gnewsense can't really be that big thats somebody can't /ignore 
if needed.
