The group-mentors people rejected the idea of a cdo.everything group. The problem is that many people would not cross-post to it, so you would only have a fraction of all the articles. Some newsreaders (AOL included) do not have crossposting capabilities. It would require some type of special software and maybe a moderated group to get to full cross-posting group to work.
I could have gone ahead and tried to submit the .everything group in the RFD, but I am afraid the people over in news.groups would send in lots of "no" votes and kill our whole process.
