Okay, I see.

Fine.
Maybe mention, that downgrading (e.g. "Gnus 5.10 --> Gnus 5.8/5.9")
isn't save in general. Or is this assumed to be a matter of course?
Adding the version check you suggested earlier is a good idea, too.
Hm, but this will only apply when downgrading _to_ 5.10. Or should
this function be written to ~/.newsrc.eld?
Bye, Reiner.
