Is there a reason why `gnus-default-subscribed-newsgroups' is a list and not a regular expression, which IMO would be more convenient in most cases? Example: if the variable is set in a site-wide default setting the administor has to keep up with frequently changes of the available local newsgroups. Quite annoying, I think. As a regular expression, the setting "local\." would suffice (until the end of the world as we know it).
