I've got a question which feels like it must be a dumb one,
but I don't know where to find the answer, so this seems as
good a place as any.

What's the newsgroup gnu.gnusenet.test for?  The site where I read news
gets this newsgroup which seems to consist of postings from sites all
over the world, all of whom seem to be in the process of testing out
their news posting or reading or delivery software.  I wasn't aware
that GNU had a news package that would require testing, and if there
was one, it doesn't seem like USENET would need a newsgroup just to
test one implementation by itself.

So, what's the deal?

Puzzled,
