I think Gnus 5.9 didn't have nndb.el, either. So why not remove it from the Emacs CVS? Emacs users won't have less than they had before. In the Gnus CVS, it could be moved from the lisp to the contrib directory. This means that it is still there, but not automatically found. This means that we will get questions from people who miss it. Kai
