Since the net has more-or-less shed itself of the backbone cabal, it's not
at all clear who would be able to move groups around.  I guess we'll have
to vote, assuming some champion can be found (don't vote now, I don't care
and I won't count your votes if you mail or post them and noone else will
either).

Moving the other groups wasn't really "part of a deal", since no real deal
was struck.  And in any case the backbone of that time is a nonentity at
this point so there's probably noone to yell at for broken promises.

If someone thinks that comp.risks and comp.edu should be moved, and is ready
to manage a vote on the subject, please pipe up.
