Well, it's a given that the net->talk transition is going to take
place. I'm not arguing about it, I'm just asking - which backbone
sites, if any, will continue to carry "talk" groups?

The current plans for ihnp4 include carrying all of the newsgroups.

As I announced several months ago, cuae2 does not carry several newsgroups.
Most of those groups are currently planned to be moved to talk. Some of
them aren't. When the "talk" split happens, we will continue to not carry
those groups that are moved to talk. We will begin passing those groups
that do not move to talk. This means that we will not be cutting any new
groups (except talk.suicide, they just talk about it) and will actually
be adding some groups that we don't carry now.
Before someone decides to flame me, let me repeat what I said in my posting
of several months ago. Before cutting the groups I did, I asked the readers
on my machine and the administrators of the machines I feed. As we begin to
feed a new machine, I tell the admin what groups I don't pass. I have never
had a complaint from the people affected by the action. My site will carry
any newsgroup that is desired by the users at my site. We have no plans to
cut any groups except the "talk" groups (which are cut already). We will
work to help those sites downstream from us who want the talk groups to get
into contact with the nearest "jawbone" site to get a feed for those groups.
