Its beginning to look like we ARE going to need to split up unix-wizards
into some managable form, simply because the volume is starting to
overwhelm some people (the same can be seed for ne.micro, but that seems
to be because a lot of people don't use the existing splits).

I don't think net.unix-novice is a good idea, but perhaps splitting up
unix wizards into something like this is:

net.unix-wizards
		.help           /* General help and request messages */
		.kernel         /* kernel stuff, since many don't have
				 * to worry about it. */


I think if you put the kernel stuff in a place where the people who don't
have to work with it don't need to see it, and if you put the generalize
help and request (who has a driver for a foobar?) messages in another it
will make life much more manageable. We might also want to consider setting
up one for nroff/troff/ditroff and cc for this, and use net.unix-wizards for
stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere.
