While I'm here, let me quickly go over the objections raised so far:

* Various systems will automatically strip attachments from news
posts, or even totally suppress the post.

That's a problem with those "various systems". A poster, aware of
the issue, may still attach C-code to postings, hurting no one, but
him/herself.

Those "systems" are the ones that are propagating usenet around the
world, not the individual readers.
