- If the NCSU news system "taco" is not in the UUCP maps, then some other
- system could register the name taco in the UUCP maps. This other system
- would then be entitled to use taco as its news system name (in the Path
- line). That would be a Bad Thing. NCSU should register taco in the
- UUCP maps, or should use an FQDN (or some other guaranteed-unique name)
- as their news system name.
