Not AFAICT, going by <URL:http://www.newsreaders.com/gnksa/gnksa.txt>.
But even if so, this would be a case of Gnus stepping outside the
realm of the GNKSA's applicability.

Gnus should check that the message will end up *somewhere* (or at
least, that it will be sent somewhere; it might, of course, be dropped
further down the line): a mail recipient, a newsgroup, Gcc, Fcc,
whatever.  When one of the destinations is a newsgroup, then the GNKSA
should be respected, but Gnus's scope is larger than the GNKSA's.
