I'll agree that something needs to be done to clean up past news items |
| 12 |
that are obsolete. Can we go back and make them expire or just delete |
| 13 |
them? Yesterday's news isn't news. |

I guess this is a matter of opinion, but on Gentoo I don't think we're |
| 16 |
really at much risk of driving people away by OVER-communicating. Our |
| 17 |
users are used to things changing and a certain level of |
| 18 |
fix-it-yourself, but if we know something is going to cause no end of |
| 19 |
questions it only makes sense to throw the users a bone once in a |
| 20 |
while. |
