I have just finished going through our newsetup procedure to make sure,
among other things, that news.announce.newusers was the first newsgroup
presented.

But to my horror, it just happens that the first article in that newsgroup
is a *diff* listing.  Now, tell me

a) what is a sparkling new user going to do with a diff listing?
b) what is a less bubbly user going to think about the relevance about what
   is posted there?

Pretty please, lets get diff listings out of news,announce.newusers (post the
diffs to news.sysadmin if there is a market there -- what it is the market for
these diffs anyway?)
