FWIW, an automated test on the 1000 most recent articles showed this:

                         Usenet   Gmane
        No References      69      104
   Unavailable Parent     357       34

Due to moderation/filtering, the set of articles from the two servers
probably isn't identical.

For posts that aren't follow-ups, no references is normal, but I'm
surprised by the size of the difference in number of articles with no
references header.

An unavailable parent means that there _was_ a refrences header, but
the most recent reference didn't map to an available article on the
server in question.

In general, the situation appears to be significantly better on Gmane
-- even if we assume that the excess number of "no reference"
ariticles on Gmane indicates those articles are broken and should have
references.
