Hi Adam,

I saw myriad rmgroups in hun.* but no checkgroups. Just curious what
newsgroups are sticking around or if the entire hierarchy is out of
business.

I also saw them yesterday and wrote to Gabor Kiss, the sender of the
rmgroup control articles.
He confirmed there had not been any normal traffic in hun.* since
several years.  And after 30 years of service, he got tired and decided
to remove it.

One newsgroup was sticking around, and got removed a few hours ago.

The hierarchy and its PGP key can be removed from control.ctl and PGPKEYS.

RIP.

I know that Russ prepended a note to HIERARCHY-NOTES that he's not
maintaining it, probably two decades ago. Nevertheless, it has a list of
defunct hierarchies in it.

Would you add this information to the list with today's date?

This should be documented.
