I propose to delete groups that are not used well and to direct the people to more general groups like comp.unix.misc in case they want to discuss the topics they special groups covered. If people declare interest in using them, I suggest to not delete them. GROUPS: comp.unix.bsd.386bsd.misc 386BSD operating system. History: comp.unix.bsd.386bsd.misc is a unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for creation by 285:87 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 22 Feb 1995. This groups supersedes the unmoderated groups in the comp.os.386bsd hierarchy, which will all be removed on 26 May 1995. Charter: Discussion about 386bsd which does not fall into the area of coverage of any of the other 386bsd groups. Things posted here should not be crossposted to the other 386bsd groups. Rationale: Last on-topic message from 2010. This operating system isn't developed anymore. If there is need for discussion, more general groups can be used. comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc BSD/OS operating system. History: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc is a unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for creation by 305:69 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 22 Feb 1995. Charter: Discussion about BSD/OS which does not fall into the area of coverage of any of the other bsdi groups. Things posted here should not be crossposted to the other bsdi groups. Rationale: Last on-topic discussion in 2015 This operating system isn't developed anymore. If there is need for discussion, more general groups can be used. PROCEDURE: Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should subscribe to news:news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant threads in that newsgroup. To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to news.groups.proposals. All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals. If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.
