RFD: Remove comp.unix.bsd.386bsd.misc and comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc

Show all headers | View raw

Greetings.

Readers of comp.unix.bsd.misc may wish to take notice of an ongoing 
Request for Discussion (RFD) to remove the unmoderated newsgroups 
comp.unix.bsd.386bsd.misc and comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc.  The discussion 
is taking place in the following thread in news.groups.proposals: 
<news:10cb4ks$37p$1@reader2.panix.com>

The proponent's rationale for removing the groups is that the operating 
systems covered by comp.unix.bsd.386bsd.misc and comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc 
aren't developed any more, and that any discussion on those OSes could 
instead take place in a more general group -- presumably such as 
comp.unix.bsd.misc.  A respondent to the RFD questioned whether 
discussion of disused BSD variants would in fact be welcome on groups 
like this one.  Any regulars or lurkers still present here on 
comp.unix.bsd.misc are welcome to chime in on this point (preferably in 
the RFD thread itself).

Regards,
Tristan
