The suggestion was made in net.followup to change the name of net.general
because that name is misleading ("Hmmm...my article doesn't seem to fit
any of these categories, it's just kind of general...Oh HEY! This one
looks like just what I need!"). Net.priority was the suggested name,
but obviously there could be severe problems with changing the name.
A lot of software knows about net.general and its special role, and expects
it to be called that. Can we trust net.news.adm's to update their code?
Or even to incorporate posted changes? Maybe. But it's an interesting idea.
