One thing I always wished rn had was a better way to reorder newsgroups.
What I'd like to see is:

(while in a newsgroup)
I type ":place". It then gives me a fullscreen of newsgroups in order of
presentation. I move to the newsgroup where I wish to move this one, hit
"p" or "P" (like vi "put before" or "put after") and voila it is now there
in the presentation sequence.

Obvious wins would be the ability to quickly deal with new groups, and
reorder groups as they change in importance to the reader.

What do you think? About a million hours of work to implement? :-)
