With the recent announcement of the GNU C compiler, comp.emacs has
become comp.os.gnu, or comp.org.fsf, depending on how you look at
it.  The GNU/Free Software Foundation stuff has been floating
around comp.emacs for a long time now, presumably because it has
no other home.  Recently comp.os.minix was created, and for a while
much of the traffic *there* was about GNU/FSF/Stallman.

While it may be premature to create a newsgroup devoted to an
operating system that does not yet exist (in public form, anyway),
there is a need to get the GNU/FSF stuff into its own newsgroup
(and out of comp.emacs).

So - I'd like to see something like comp.org.fsf or comp.os.gnu.
I don't really care what it's called - you know my motivations.

Followups should go to news.groups.
