Great!  A news.software.c!  I can use it to post all my programs that are
written in the C language!

This potential confusion suggests that it the suffix should be ".cnews" or
".version-c" or something along those lines.  Of course this would require
renaming or deleting the ".b" newsgroup, for consistency.
