For completeness, I should point out that I've seen one user complaining |
| 46 |
about old news items disappearing. While I support the motion, I think |
| 47 |
we should take some care to make sure that there is some 'replacement' |
| 48 |
documentation for the things announced by news items. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
In other words, it's a bad idea to remove news items when the available |
| 51 |
documentation explains the 'before' state and the news item is the only |
| 52 |
source of information of the 'after' state. |
