Well, groups do stick around, so the 'new' designator wouldn't be fitting
after a certain point.  I was thinking if ever there were groups for product
line years, they oughtta parallel the DB, since this'll be set up for
browsing by year anyway -- so something like

     :
   lugnet.year.1997
   lugnet.year.1998
   lugnet.year.1999
   lugnet.year.2000
     :

is probably more likely to fit in.

Groups for product-line years would be great for crossposting stuff as it
comes up!
