Yip.  Let's keep Usenet as is.

But experiments with allowing more should happen.
There is no need to force all this into Usenet.

Maybe use mailing lists gated to NNTP?
Some if them[0] already allow much more.

Launch an own server?
Play with Cyrus-NNTP[1]?

I want it all.
I want everything in the same frontend.
[!] And for me that frontend has to be my existing newsreader.

[0]: I read a lot of stuff via Gmane and Gwene and still sometimes am
     surprised over coloured syntax in some code snippets.  The images
     in Hackaday's feed sometimes fail, but some day someone will find
     that bug...  ,,X_

[1]: That looks like the ideal small personal NNTP server building atop
     an existing IMAP[2] server, but last time I tried, the dependencies
     (Debian) were broken and my attention span was not huge enough to
     compensate for this.

[2]: IMAP by itself already should have shared and public folders, so
     could be a starting point for something with a similar structure.
     Depending on the newsreader this may or may not contradict [!] as a
     lot of MUAs include NNTP.
