Description

In my opinion the `@archive:matrix.org` bot shouldn't stay in rooms it joins for all eternity like is it's current behaviour.

If not for other reason, to avoid Denial of Service towards matrix-appservice-irc users when encountering IRC side limits and thus triggering privacy filter. https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/1474#issuecomment-913025682
