The latter.

It's just rn's way of showing it's age a bit.  The .UUCP is hardcoded into
a bunch of places -- it is not programmable.  The approach most folks use
is to grep the rn sources for all instances of .UUCP and manual change it.

I've done a hack to "rn" which adds a DOMAINNAME parameter and a "%k"
interpolation.  Drop me a line if you want these patches.
