I get no “little minus” next to anyone's name on the Planet Debian
syndication feed. Are you perhaps conflating the interface-independent
information content of Planet Debian with a single interface to that
information?

Hopefully the suggestion to split non-Debian topics out to a separate
feed (or, equivalently, to provide a Debian-topics-only feed which is
the only one provided on Planet Debian) will be followed more often.

Agreed. Others have expressed the position that reading occasional
non-Debian posts in the Planet Debian flow helps to relate to other
members as people with lives outside Debian; that seems something of
value that we should be careful not to sacrifice cheaply.
