I have received 30 responses to my question of 3-4 weeks ago about the
advisability of creating net.os, all were in favour; many agreed that
having O/S stuff in net.unix-wizards was preposterous.
I hearby call on The-Powers-That-Be to create a net.os or net.opsys.
The few people who expressed a preference suggested net.os. Some
have suggested that net.os.unix, net.os.vms, etc, might be a more
reasonable organization for current (or demanded) groups, but, given
inertia and history, I suspect this is unlikely.
I suggest that the description in the list-of-lists would be:
net.os Discussion of Operating System Principles/Features
(If TPTB require a list of those who voted, I could produce this, but suffice
to say that it covered the U.K. to Australia, Bell to Cornell)
