My impression is that Gnus developers do not need to be able to do
this now, with the new Emacs CVS and emacs-devel list. And by
synchronizing the files better, it would be possible to avoid
accidental changes. If anything, moving the files would make it more
likely that changes are reviewed by Emacs developers, which could
avoid some problems in the future.

OK, I'll think about each file individually.
