The other concern that I have is that this gives even less face time to core
project related news, which already has a hard time getting exposure. Things
like minor releases, project events (beta/gsoc), and large community
gatherings (oscon/pgcon) get at best limited exposure and that's if aren't
just lumped in with everything else.
