Can they though? If someone takes an interest in running these OSs
and picks a group focused on current BSD to discuss them in, aren't
they likely to effectively be told exactly that: "The operating
system isn't developed anymore, go away"? The most active computer
groups tend to be frequented by people who are hostile to users of
unmaintained software (I think Marco Mook has fit this description
himself in the past). Having these separate places to discuss old
platforms is an asset of Usenet to allow it to cater for people
with different interests without unnecessary conflict.
