Look, we've been through this very recently.  While it may
be a decent idea to organize newsgroups, you simply CANNOT
rename them.  It doesn't work.  That's a proven fact (net.trivia).
Confusion, multiple postings, illegitimate groups, etc. all
come out of it, and with this large a scale involved, the
problems would all be multiplied.  

The thing to do is now start organizing new groups.  When
the old ones die away (granted, it may take a few years),
the net will slowly become more clean.  You cannot do it overnight.
