Great Renaming: n. The flag day in 1987 on which all of the
non-local groups on the Usenet had their names
changed from the net.- format to the current multiple-hierarchies scheme.
Used esp. in discussing the history of newsgroup names. “The oldest
sources group is comp.sources.misc; before the Great Renaming,
it was net.sources.” There
is a Great
Renaming FAQ on the Web.
