Yes.

Because I didn't know about that command?
I've now added it to nntp.el, but how should it be used? I see two
possible uses -- when entering a group, to get the real list of
articles first, and when `g'-ing, to get the real number of unread
articles in the group buffer. The latter would probably take far too
long, though, to be of any use.
