I saw a christmas movie commercial yesterday, so I'll make a wish:
A goal for OGnus might be to get rid of .newsrc.eld completely.
.newsrc would be in the standard .newsrc format, for news only, and
everything else (topics, servers etc) might be stored in some other
file, or if the backend think it can do a better job, in the backend.
But yes, it would be nice. Making annotations (without modifying the
article file) is useful, but storing annotations in .newsrc.eld too
doesn't feel right.
