Exactly.

Yes, that's good.

One issue would be the potential merging of nqc/rcxcc since rcxcc is
really a front end to nqc and shares the same language/constraints/etc.
This is really a matter of philosophy - separate groups means that rcxcc
users will probably subscribe to both groups, and nqc only subscribers may
potentially miss an interesting topic in rcxcc. On the other hand,
merging the groups would mean nqc users would see some rcxcc specific
stuff that they don't care about. Its really up to you on how fine a
"resolution" you make these things.
