I agree with you. It might be my lack of Gnus knowledge, but I had
problems subscribing to groups on a secondary server because every
time I wanted to subscribe to something, I had to download the 450k
active file (less than fun on 28.8). It would be nice to have a list
of killed groups (or inactive whatever) on each foreign server.
