In my opinion, the .newsrc.eld should be split up.
Lars always asks "why?" when I suggest this. The answers are:
- It's a big file that's fragile wrt. to small obscure changes (it's
better to lose tick marks in one group, than in all of them)
- I would like to have my manually edited stuff (group parameters, and
servers, and perhaps other stuff) out of .newsrc.eld and into a file,
or set of files, that can be version controlled and shared together
with the rest of the configuration files in my home directory
(I think there are other reasons as well, but these are the ones that
came to mind right now)
