Nope, just a user who supports the idea of critical news items being
added to the portage tree but not 'important' ones.  I don't want to
have to download the 'important' ones.

I saw it when it was posted here.  It seems important but not
critical.  If I've misunderstood, and news items won't be downloaded by
non-Paludis users when they sync, then I'd agree that 'important', as
determined by the package maintainer(s), is a fine threshold for
including them.
