Well, if you can convince people to perform the following transformations:

rename comp.sources.games rec.sources
rename comp.sources.games.d rec.sources.d
rename comp.sys.ibm.pc comp.pc.ibm
rename comp.sources.ibm.pc comp.pc.ibm.sources
rename comp.binaries.ibm.pc comp.pc.ibm.binaries
for i in cbm amiga atari.st ...
do
	rename comp.sys.$i comp.pc.$i
	rename comp.sources.$i comp.pc.$i.sources
	rename comp.binaries.$i comp.pc.$i.binaries
done

...and so on...

I could sure simplify my sys file.
