The B flag is archaic but harmless.  However, this line has a serious flaw
in it from C News's viewpoint:  articles will be sent to that program only
if they have newsgroup "bionet.molbio.genbank.updates" *and* distribution
"bionet.molbio.genbank.updates".  The former is probable, the latter is not.
Changing the second field to "bionet.molbio.genbank.updates/all" will do
the job.

Aside from the above issue, yes.
