There's another option: leave it alone ??? :-). Seriously, I don't particularly want to see a wholly useless flame war start up over what to rename the groups, and would be just as happy if they stayed the way they are! It ain't broke, so why fix it? Everybody has come to understand the current purpose of the groups, and certainly wouldn't be any more clued by "bsdnet2" than they would be "386bsd" if they're one of those who know nothing about it at all, so if you're not doing the newbies any favors and you're not helping the "old hands" then just who would the name change be targeted at?
