Keywords: expire doesn't remove articles in news.*

My crontab entry on my Ultrix system for expire is

	0 3 * * * /usr/lib/news/expire -i -n ba ca comp junk \
	  misc mod msgs net news rec sci soc talk

(line-break added for readability, it's actually just one line).

Is there something sacred about articles in news.* that keeps them from
being expired?  We are running B news 2.11:  the "v" command in readnews
just says "B 2.11", no patchlevel shown.
