Never mind.  As far as I know, earlier versions of Gnus does not check
a file-version string.  I actually used to run both Gnus 5.[68] and
Semi-gnusae after all.  In addition, recent Semi-gnusae does not
contain byte-compiled format-specs in .newsrc.eld.  They are saved in
the other file (e.g. ~/News/.T-gnus/strict-cache).

Do you mean `gnus-truncate-string'?  I believe that such a thing won't
be appeared in .newsrc.eld these days.
