I'm wondering about the alternative structure of 

vmsnet.sysmgt.* (* from set of VAX, AlphaAXP, DECSYSTEM, etc...)
vmsnet.os.* (e.g. * from the set of OSF1, OpenVMS, WindowsNT)

From a conceptual standpoint I see these groupings as a little more
natural than having a group for every member of the cross between
architecture and area of interest.

Comments?
