I don't know about general consensus. In my opinion, it's plain spam to |

existing users. (And that would IMO be the xth news item in a row to be |

spam.) |

You can limit news items to certain profiles, so, you could make them |
| 23 |
apply to the default/linux profiles, I guess. Not sure if the FreeBSD |

| 25 |
