ietf-nntp LIST EXTENSION response 205 vs 215

David Johnson recently pointed out that the new Netscape
NNTP server that implements the LIST EXTENSION command
returns 215.  Stan's document specifies that the response
should be 205.  

RFC 977 says:
       x0x - Connection, setup, and miscellaneous messages
       x1x - Newsgroup selection

While 205 fits better into the numbering layout, the 215 
return is the same as the return for all the other LIST 
commands, and we'd prefer to be consistent in that regard.  

What do people think?
