<sigh>. Can't anybody read any more?

The suggestion was to move the existing newsgroups (such as comp.os.coherent,
comp.os.linux, comp.os.minix) into the comp.unix heirarchy, as fundamentally
these are very unix-ish OSs. The change would be that comp.os.coherent would
become comp.unix.coherent, comp.os.linux would be comp.os.linux, and so on.
So the only change would be to the name.
