It is likely that a mod.os will start early in the new year.  I have
volunteered to moderate it, and at least some of The-Powers-That-Be
have given it their blessing.  The only hold up right now is that I will
be moving to a new system in January, then a hopefully-quick discussion in
net.news.groups, then finally a group for Operating Systems.
