I think one of the features for 1.1, given it has been requested several
times, is likely to be some form of newsgroup categories, with the ability
to update only those groups in a particular category, and to keep all the
other categories collapsed and out of the way, if desired.  If this turns
out to be the case, it should do what you would now need multiple separate
instances of pan to do, thereby eliminating the need to make those
separate instances much easier than they are already, using
$PAN_HOME=<path>.
