I think "new" or "trial" would be much more appropriate... That way,
people would understand that we weren't about to promote alt.drugs
to the "real groups".

Also, it would:

help us keep track of what was being suggested,
allow us to not recieve, as a whole, the "suggested groups" hierarchy, and
maybe, just maybe, make things work better as a whole.

(Would we then have, also, an "old." hierarchy for groups that are about
to be shut down? :-)
