Well, if you're going about improving it, start by adding in the |
| 7 |
Display-If-Upgrading-From-To: header. It'll be a nuisance to implement, |
| 8 |
but it'll be far more useful than any of the rest of this. |

That'll just increase the amount of disagreement about news items |

It's quite simple. If releasing a news item improves the user |
| 22 |
experience of affected users more than not releasing it, the news item |
| 23 |
should be released. |
