Okay, I see.

See a later entry for more information about > marks. 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?
