which is where they belong.  press releases usualy violate NSF
guildelines, which is why a separate hierarchy was created for them,
allowing sites who maintain strict adherenece to the guidelines to
ignore an entire hierarchy.  adding v.a.dec is probably not a problem
for NIX consotium users and commercial uucp users, but it would most
likely pose a delemma for those using BARRnet and CERFnet.
