Yes.  In the comp.women case, the objections now are to the violation of
precedence, increase of general entropy, apparent chaos on the backbone,
and stagnation in forming the group already.

They can think them through on their own time.  They don't need to do it
on comp.women's time.

If, say, it's decided to rename five of the current newsgroups in comp.* as
part of the final compromise, I don't see why this is going to be made so
infinitely more complicated by renaming six newsgroups.  Do you?
