It's not a show-stopper, but 5.8.7 gets "sorting newsgroups"
backwards.  I always have to remember to sort "in reverse" to get them
forward, and when coming out of a newsgroup that is completely read,
it sometimes goes up, and not down.

In other words, the display as it puts them in my *Groups* list is
backwards from the order they are in .newsrc.  This behaviour started
with 5.8.0.  I reported it once, but the bug report must have been
tagged "it's coming from that famous felon guy... maybe it's not
important". :)
