Nah, you've just reinvented subgroups in another form.  If we
needed it, it should be comp.lang.ada.Q, comp.lang.ada.announce,
etc.  I would probably use somewhat different groups, but I don't
think we need them at all.  This is a relatively low-traffic newsgroup
(take a look at comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html sometime),
and I have no trouble handling it without subcategories.
