That comes from how newnews was realized.  Before
2.3, there were two different spool methods.  That
was determined by 'storageapi' in inn.conf.  For
traditional(storageapi set to false), newnews was
implemented by searching history which includes
all crossposted article file name.  That was
represented like 'news.software.nntp/10000'.  OTTH,
the case of storageapi set to true, newnews was
implemented by parsing overview data.

Now, traditional was gone, and '/' should be able
to be dropped.
