Likewise, I've found it useful when we can operate as a tag team both connected to a board, and discussing things over IRC.

Sure, we could provide a command line tool for looking up those things in the lava database, and give admins an easy interface to just say "take me to the console of this machine", or "hardreset this machine". If we did that, and also added attached serial multiplexing, we will have... rewritten conmux. :)
We don't need multiplexing though, and having a persistent daemon seems to me to be the source of much of the (well, my) angst with conmux. This has come in handy for me before when debugging locally, or dealing with boards that need serial or usb attachment.
