ukr.comp.binaries is for warez and ukr.binf doesn't provide clear 
description what it stands for (I have no idea, if it's for binaries or 
not, I could only assume). Also, they are not indexed by binary/NZB 
searches, only alt.binaries.* are (with certain rare exceptions in 
addition), therefore these groups don't make sense for sharing binaries.

I stopped uploading to ukr.* and use some groups in alt.binaries.movies.* 
instead. This way they at least may be found by name and tags.

But a dedicated group would be nice, so people could just lurk it to find 
Ukrainian conent only.
