Folks,

When we last discussed "policy" for front-page news items, this was the
general terms:

1) Commercial Software gets 1 news item, ever, preferably when they
introduce PostgreSQL support.

2) OSS Projects supporting PG get an announcement every major version,
but NOT for minor releases.

3) "Inside" projects (like PGAdmin & PostGIS) get an news item whenever
they have something new.

Lately, someone has been approving every single announcement from AM
software, giving them a front-page news item every 2-3 weeks, frequently
for patch releases.   What gives?
