Another aspect of this is a quasi-journalistic principle: News and
announcements are, well, news; blog posts are opinion pieces. It's
useful to keep those separate, and different criteria should apply.
Personally, as a consumer of planet, I wouldn't want conference-related
announcements mixed into the feed. That's what the news section and
conference listings are for.
