How about having a new newsgroup for POV-4 related things?

Currently these threads are within the "general" group, which should be IMHO
for production version (v3.6) questions only, not for the discussion of
future things.

If there would be a new newsgroup *please* let it be public as the "general"
one, not restricted to POV team members only!

And - if possible - move all existing threads to the new group.

Even if the server software allows it, I think that could cause trouble 
with many newsreader software...

I don't think so, most client will see the transfered messages as new one in the 
new newsgroup. At most, it may complain that the message don't exist anymore in 
the old forum, same as deleted and expired ones.
