Doesn't make much sense to me. The biggest benefit from --news over other,

emerge mention it.

This isn't the problem I'm trying to get solved.
You're talking about a reactive news system, telling users about the
consequences of their actions. I'm after a pro-active news system,
telling users about what will change, so that they have the information
they need to plan upgrades.
We need both.
We definitly need this. I'm reminded of the recent apache changes,
which could of been much less painful if we had something like this.
