For exactly which versions of leafnode has this been working?

Like I said, already in place.
newsgroups = *
pattern = Subject:.*\s+\d\d\d\d\d\d+\s*$
action = kill
Should nuke all articles that have a Subject ending in a number of at
least 6 digits.

I'm still not convinced yenc is "cool" -- before it's properly
integrated with MIME, that is. After that, only time will tell. I only
read text news, without binary attachments, yenc is not going to help
any. People who send me mail with binary attachments usually have some
mainstream Windows stuff (Outlook Express) which is not getting yenc
support in the next decade.

Sure, but it's more difficult to implement than the way it is now, and
it'd only be useful if it could track which user was reading that group,
otherwise, if some users looked at the group just to "sample", it would
be marked interesting, a false positive.
All that adds a lot of code, which is not exactly justified given that
just rm /var/spool/news/interesting.groups/this.group.is.crap is
sufficient to stop polling the "this.group.is.crap" newsgroup.
