Summary: Maybe a repost of the newgroup msgs is in order?

Well, we (and a lot of other sites) seem to have missed them too.  I've
been watching the junk directory and creating the new groups by hand as
needed, but this is cumbersome.  Perhaps *one* of the backbone admins 
should repost the newgroup messages before the rmgroups go out?

(Incidentally, I've just installed 2.11 about an hour ago, and make
update tells me all the comp groups are invalid - apparently, the 2.11
source for checking the active file doesn't know about the new groups,
either!)
