    A question of resources used, i think.
    On my server, only admins can use it.

    I noticed that NEWNEWS is disabled on a lot of servers, including eternal-september. It seems like it would be a sensible way to run a
    leafnode or a peer that is not always online. What's the reason it is so
    often disabled?

    But clients are still able to enumerate every group and request new
    messages from every group, which seems like a greater use of resources.

    NNRP uses POST to inject articles.
    Leafnode/Hamster can also use that, they are not like NNTP server to
    their upstream.

    Server performance considerations.

    NNRP uses POST to inject articles.

    NEWNEWS has nothing to do with injecting articles:
