Not exact sequences, since I stopped using dynafeed a while ago. As I
recall, despite putting ": control" in the per-site and system control
files, the "control" newsgroup would get removed from the site's
newsrc file when the next update was received.
Dynafeed also had locking and updating problems -- it seemed to assume
that only one set of changes would be pending at once, and so it
didn't bother to lock the new newsrc file or anything like that. Made
things real interesting when I connected to a site for the first time
in a couple days, and got three newsrc updates.
