Julien ÉLIE <jul...@trigofacile.com> added the comment:

A drawback is that CAPABILITIES will still being unsent after an upgrade of the 
news server to a more up-to-date version supporting the command.

If CAPABILITIES is not understood by the news server, it is not an issue.  A 
500 response code is usually answered by the news server, which is 
RFC-compliant.  nntplib should then behave properly.  (getcapabilities() 
returns an empty dictionary when CAPABILITIES is not implemented.)
