Okay, that seems problematic.  Shouldn't everything you specify with `G
c' or `G p' be stored as a regular customization?  IIUC, .newsrc.eld
changes very dynamically (e.g. storing article marks), whereas group
parameters are the sort of thing I'd probably want to check into a Git
repository somewhere.  Am I missing something?
