I vote "no."

In fact, I'm not that crazy about the idea of having info-gnu piped into
comp.emacs.  As an illustration, I point to the time when RMS's complaint
"commercial messages don't belong on this list" went out into comp.emacs, and
got people who only read comp.emacs upset...

I would, on the other hand, be all for separate gnu groups.  Something like
comp.gnu.*, or maybe just gnu.* (keeping it out of mainstream Usenet for a
while, at least).
