The idea for a net.sources.d has been discussed before, and turned down.
We have a net.sources.bugs for discussion of problems with posted
sources, and a net.wanted.source for people wanting repostings.  What
other kind of discussion can you think of which would generate enough
traffic to warrant its own newsgroup?

Furthermore, the general feeling has been that no group should be created
as a subgroup of net.sources unless it contains information that should
be archived forever at sites that archive net.sources.  Therefore,
net.sources.d is probably not a good name.

For what do you think such a group is needed?
