I get your point about NNTP users getting a Pro forum experience 
client-side.

Newcomers likely are used to GNU Mailman archive viewing on the 
web, and this forum comes across as a more efficient interface 
(it uses the message threading in underlying NNTP better). So I'm 
not talking about the presentation at all. In fact, unless there 
is a good NNTP client on mobile, this forum is great on mobile. 
But that audience on mobile might like all content on General to 
be approachable, and a Pro forum could be peeked into whenever it 
makes sense.
