It's unlikely.  There simply isn't enough volume to be able to justify
a new group.  comp.sources.misc is still sufficient for the job.

Besides, "source" and "binary" groups generally require a moderator:
Are YOU volunteering to become moderator?  The last time the subject of
a ibm-pc sources group came up, NO ONE volunteered.  So no one bothered
formally proposing the group in news.groups.
