No, you missed them.  The newgroups for comp and news went out about
the first of November.  You can expect rmgroups to go out in about a
week for the old (net) names of the soc, misc, sci, comp, and news
newsgroups, followed shortly by newgroups for the rec groups.  The
rmgroups for the old (net) names of the rec groups will go out
around Dec 15.  That will complete the first part of the reorganization,
and all "net" groups will be gone.

The second phase, involving moderated groups currently in mod.*, is
currently on hold, and we haven't decided exactly how to handle it.
