I happen to agree with the above thoughts.  Take two *separate* votes
on procedural grounds.
 
    Vote 1:  Change name from Comp.Sys.Apple ==> Comp.Sys.Apple2
             (probably less controversial, short time period)
    Vote 2:  Create Comp.Sys.Apple2.Tech
             (probably more controversial, longer time period &
              timed to be after exams and vacation)
