I'd prefer to see either just a news.software group or the above
.newsreaders, .transport, and maybe .protocols (.transport being
the software and .protocols being the underlying protocol spec).

However, I really don't think the volume is much of a burden right now.
Perhaps of the traffic zooms way up, but right now news.software.b
has a pretty easy-to-handle volume.
