Sadly even Big 8 crossposts to several news.* newsgroups which are often 
dead and moderated. That does not help from my view. One just read the 
same article in several newsgroups and in case of a follow up wasting 
some time to figure out, where to post.

It is probably hard to take any decision how to adjust Usenet for 
current state and time. Obviously also next step, how to make it 
technically happen.

I assume nobody is expecting that millions of users will jump in and 
start using Usenet again. This should be probably considered and many 
things adjusted just for smaller group of users.

Some serious discussion even with original authors or people who were 
around Plan 9 in that time is taking place on mentioned 9fans mailing list.
I already let them know about this MVI.

Not sure if Rob Pike can now use Usenet after Google trashed it ;/
