I would ask all sites to send to their downstream neighbors MAIL that they
are no longer carrying whichever groups they decide not to carry.  This would
keep unnecessary and uninteresting traffic from cluttering up many newsgroups.

It's not really of any concern to me that your next site neighbor isn't
sending you alt groups (unless, of course, your next site neighbor
is uunet :-))
