A major drawback of mod.announce would be that all of the news
administrators would have to explicitly allow it.  Everyone has net.all
in their /usr/lib/news/sys files now, and it would take quite a bit of
work to convince everyone to simultaneously add the new category.  

Of course, this could be considered a plus, if the people who want to
do this want to allow sites to decide whether to accept another class
of newsgroups with the capacity for being nearly as large (if articles
are posted to both groups) as net.all is now.  Well, maybe that's not
too likely, but if it catches on, who knows?
