As far as I know, the major remaining advantage for having subgroups
is that sites that only get half the newsgroups can get (or ignore)
a whole topic with one short reference, e.g. they can turn off
net.rec and net.rec.all by putting !net.rec in the list of what
their neighbor sends them.

I don't know how many sites out there use this feature.  If it's not
used very much it's a pretty minor point.  Who uses it, and how
important is it to you?
