Summary: you can't run software you don't have

Well, here we are, halfway or so through the reorganization, with
people's news systems apparently going down in flames, and I'm still
breathlessly awaiting the arrival of the fabled 2.11 in mod.sources.
The documentation has been posted, so I guess the source code should
be here Real Soon Now.

Now, fortunately (by judicious rmgrouping on my part) I've managed to
keep my news software from cratering.  I would really rather run 2.11,
I think -- it certainly sounds wonderful.  But it's tough to run
software you don't have.

This isn't meant as a flame at anyone -- I'm sure the maintainers of
the news software are putting in far more work than we have any right
to expect -- but I sure wish 2.11 had been distributed before the
reorganization started.
