Ah, I was waiting for this discussion to come up.

I'm happy to get all of the bit.* groups, subject to the constraint
that the Message-ID: information *must* but properly handled at all of
the gateway points.  The consequences of doing this wrong are
disruption of service either on bit.* groups or in comp.* groups
depending on what gets where first.

Another problem with the gatewaying as it's set up now is that
there doesn't seem to be a current list of all of the bit groups,
information on them, and where messages to the group need to be
sent to.  This is a particular problem because the groups are
marked as moderated on the news side & so articles get mailed
off to the usenet "backbone" by default -- a backbone that doesn't
know how to deal with them.
