You mean that you use different newsreaders on different systems? I guess
it could happen if you want to use e.g. xrn on a workstation and nn on a
terminal. But nn is its own window system, in a way, and works fine in
a terminal window/emulator. And I guess that it won't be long until someone
writes an xnn provided it's worth doing.

I can see no reason not to scrap rn now. I've done it here for all our users.
