Just think how much less hassle you would now have in your life if
you'd have left the space in, and called it "C News.Z" :-)

But if we did that, we'd lose you from the news reader discussions :-)
More seriously though, I think the strongest reason for a re-organisation
would be to stem the regular "why ain't there a news.software.c" whinges.
I don't think there's a strong enough reason not to leave well alone.

Re-organisations are painful things.  The news.software heirarchy is working
comparatively well as it is.  The comp.unix heirarchy is much worse now
than before the revolution.  I'd like to see the present relative
tranquility continue in news.software, please.

Thank you, and Happy New Year.
