Why's that? If someone is interested in preserving rsre from what he may
believe could result in unnecessary duplication and consequent dilution of
posters between groups, he is quite entitled to vote, imo.


The uk.* hierarchy is for existing and potential users of that hierarchy.
"Preserving" one's own preferred group is not a valid reason for interfering
in someone else's hierarchy.


That is your opinion. It isn't backed up by the voting process.

Has it it occurred to you that something which
needs "preserving" in this way, may not be worth preserving?


Not really. There is enough traffic for one group. It is doubtful
whether there will be enough traffic to keep two groups active, and it
is possible that spreading it across two groups will lead to both
becoming unused.
