I don't understand all this discussion. The Ruby articles already are
(and as far as I know will continue to be) accessible via blade, or
indirectly via ruby-talk.org. Both take the Ruby article number (like
27844) in the URL, so both can be used for external references to
these articles. All it means is that references have to be to the
mailing-list side of things, not usenet.

Even if these numbers are removed from the subject line, they're still
available in the X-ruby: header.
