The suggestion was made -- and rejected -- a few years ago.  First, setting
up new top-level groups is *very* difficult.  Second, there's no clear
consensus on what's technical and what's not.  Tell me, how would you
classify net.micro?  How do you think Microsoft classifies it?  Net.religion,
maybe?  Well, we already have In Touch Ministries on the net; even if
net.religion isn't "technical" for them, it's close to the "competition"
notes posted on internal BTL groups by the Library here.  Etc.
