The proposal clearly stated that if the new groups were created, they
were to replace the existing unix-pc hierarchy over a 3 month period.
After said 3 months, A request for Spaff to remove them from his 
alternate hierarchy postings.  This is what we are voting on.  I think
you will find that the system administrators out there that get the
news moved around usually follow the results of votes like this.  The
quickest way I can think of to get both the vote *and* distribution
of the unix-pc hierarchy dumped by these fine people is for alot more
people to jump on Mr. Becker's raging bandwagon.

Yes, do not forget to vote.
