Personally, I do not think the tree is the place for anything besides |

that which relates to the tree. I really do not think users would |

this week" ; "developer y is going to italy" ; "We recently recieved 3 |
| 5 |
new mirrors" and have all this shown on their screen. |

This feature should only be used for things that are directly related |
| 8 |
to the tree, and will cause mass breakage if ignored. |
