I can't remember how I made the exact code (git tells me this was 2003
(which means the .gnus.el file was versioned controlled in CVS,
probably)), but coding the equivalent of '2 g' was indeed what I tried
to do.

I had local mail groups on level 1, imap groups on level 2 and nntp
groups on level 3.

Still do, in fact, except I no longer have any local mail groups, except
for an nnmail:misc that appears when I receive local mail for something.

The same thing happens with me: '2 g' makes groups greater than level 2
go away and '3 l' makes them reappear.

So this was possibly a transient issue in emacs 28?

That means I may be able to resurrect the function on emacs 29? :-)

Thanks for the heads up!
