Looks like it could be a quick way for Palm to loose their developer base.
I tried their developer exchange 'experiment', it was terrible. I think a
paid support option (with access to Palm trained support engineers) is a
good idea. It will give the smaller developers a place to go for official
Palm answers. That is, as long as there remains a 'free' option.
IMHO: Killing off these news groups would be like Palm shooting itself in
the foot.
