15 This tends to be my thinking on it. If we were to put in the docs that
16 all important announcements were announced proactively on #1.
17 www.gentoo.org and #2. gentoo-announce, then more users would use them.
18 This has no bearing on --news, which I also think is a good idea and
19 something we should implement.
