Why?

Do wizards talk only about programming? No.

Do wizards talk only about internals? No.

It seems that the original proposal didn't rename comp.unix.wizards,
it destroyed it. I've recommended to Eric Fair that he keep the inet
group comp.unix.wizards, and make it self-moderated like alt.hackers
to keep the noise down.
