- What is the functional difference between unsubscribing and
- killing a group?

- Killed groups don't get Xrefs marked or stay in your .newsrc, and take
- up less space in your .newsrc.el. The basically save some more time
- and space in gnus than if they were just unsubscribed. Some people
- (maybe even me) might argue that it is a feature that they are also
- not visible in a list-all-groups. Perhaps there should be a
- really-list-all-groups.
