I agree that we need to make nntp smarter about various version of news. 
This is why I added the CNEWS stuff to the last patch. I think nntp and
news will remain somewhat intertwined for some time (at least until
a major rewrite of nntp comes along). So, I'd say that if you change your
news sofware, you may need to recompile NNTP to adapt it to what you have 
done. I don't think adding adaptive mechanisms to NNTP is necessary.
