Well, I've been pushing for comp.programming for a while, though not
enough people seem to support it. If you imagine

  rec.games.programmer      as  comp.programming.games
  comp.unix.programmer      as  comp.programming.unix
  comp.os.msdos.programmer  as  comp.programming.msdos
  comp.sys.mac.programmer   as  comp.programming.mac

then comp.programming (or comp.programming.misc) makes sense. It could
certainly absorb a lot of traffic from other groups.
