I've just received a response to my email about updating the GNKSA. In
part, it says:
Actually, I consider the GNKSA a historic document, to be read in the
context of its own time, rather than a useful guideline for today's
practice. It played its part, but to me its relevance is over. Usenet
has become a niche, or a suite of niches for a relatively small audience
and particular purposes. The GNKSA, by intention anyway, aimed to help
Usenet function in a time before web forums, "social" sites and the like.
I don't think there's any other interest in updating it or even paying
any attention to it any longer. I think it's now time for us to ask
ourselves if complying to an otherwise dead standard is in Pan's best
interests, and if not, what other changes are appropriate.
