The proposal that has been discussed in news.groups and is now being
voted about is comp.sources.reviewed.  I have never seen anyone taking
action for a comp.sources.unix2.  The discussion about renaming
c.s.r to c.s.p started with somebody (sorry, I have forgotten who)
quoting me.

I was discussing why why I did not think comp.sources.reviewed should
be restricted to UNIX.  I mentioned that we can expect a number of
non UNIX operating systems to become POSIX compliant.  It was never
my idea that comp.sources.reviewed should be restricted to POSIX
or UNIX.  I admit that most public domain software is for UNIX, but
the best is frequently ported to other operating systems.  Besides
we have comp.sources.unix for UNIX software.  Why making a copy?
