Reading mailing lists with netnews mechanisms has its advantages, but
also disadvantages.
The main disadvantage for me is that news articles are read only. This
means I cannot locally correct misbehaviour such as broken threads
(which happens all the time in _this_ list, "thanks" to Mailman and its
broken news gateway).
Another disadvantage, and I admit it's a more theoretical one, is that
every remote service will go away someday. In the case of gmane it will
not be only the current article feed, but also the archives. If you
rely on it exclusively, all the information in historical articles will
be gone.
