As a wild guess, I suppose because a newsgroup isn't available?

If you feel this strongly about a news server then I see no reason why
you shouldn't set one up.  I'll be happy to advertise the service on
the cygwin web site.

I'd suggest that you gateway the cygwin mailing list into news, and
vice versa.  That would probably be optimum.

I have several other great ideas which I'll be happy to share with you
once you've gotten your service set up.
