Does it apply to earlier versions of Gnus as well? Making the fix in
OGnus would only help people that went back to OGnus, but it wouldn't
help people running Gnus 5.7 or 5.9 that comes with Emacs. So if you
install a semi-gnus you can never go back, unless you go back to OGnus
betas? (Well, or delete .newsrc.eld...) To solve that, I think
Semi-gnusae need to be changed to insert a file-version string that
older Gnusae understands.
The same would apply to the use of (I think) `gnus-substring' in
.newsrc.eld, which Larsi-Gnus never has implemented. So you can't
revert to Larsi-Gnus without defining it... Maybe this is fixed now,
though.
