Having a channel on the site that gathers these raw commercial
announcements has value. It's certainly correct they should not take
primary placement on the community site. For someone considering Koha,
a review of the press release history from all the related vendors can
tell a lot about the health of the commercial support community over
time -- something a current status board or any other summary cannot.
