Yeah. I used to like how Planet Gnome and Debian aggregated every
article from their authors, regardless of whether it was Gnome- or
Debian-specific or not. It gave the planet a more familiar feel.
However, I don't like that idea anymore. You end up reading how they
feed their cats and such. I guess it works for them because it's mainly
for their own internal consumption, or something like that. For me, as
an outsider, it's not all that interesting.
