An ISP committed to the idea could easily implement a per-newsgroup
policy.

And hire about 8 more full time news admins to keep these per-newsgroup
policy flags up to date.

Well, I *did* say "committed to the idea". I'm not saying it'd be a *good*
idea, just that there's no reason it can't be done.

Or they could put all the newsgroups that allow binaries in one place -
i.e.: alt.binaries.*, so we can control expire times, spool space and
feeds with one configuration.

Not if they want to implement a per-newsgroup policy, they couldn't.

Oh wait, that's what we already do.

Then you obviously don't implement a per-newsgroup policy. So?
