Not making things worse ALWAYS matters. Doing it right ALWAYS matters.

Please don't hijack the proposal. He didn't request this.

The first failed newsgroup made Usenet worse. The first proponent who
wanted a very narrow newsgroup just because he didn't want to post in a
broader newsgroup and wasn't discussing the topic harmed Usenet.

Of course it's always mattered whether anyone is discussing the topic.
Are we here for discussion, or are we here to make empty froups?
