comp.sources.reviewed -> comp.sources.posix

[Paul Eggert]

I also have been troubled by the overbroad mandate and poorly chosen
name of comp.sources.reviewed.  We used to have newsgroups with poorly
chosen names containing `moderated' or `mod', but I had thought we
learned our lesson that newsgroup names should reflect their contents,
not their editorial methods.

This suggests that for sanity's sake, the newsgroup will stick to Posix
(or at least Posix-like) applications.  It also suggests that competent
reviewers will check for Posix conformance.  This will indeed be a
service to the computing community.  If so, I suggest that the name of
the proposed newsgroup be changed to `comp.sources.posix', because it
will reflect the newsgroup's contents far more accurately.
