If you don't like the stats articles use the n key.

If it goes on a mailing list then newcomers to the net will never
know about it.

This is a problem to a whole class of news worthy stuff. It would
be great if some serious discussion took place to create a GOOD
solution like an policy class of article that hung around (if the
site told it to) and only disapeared when the update came along.
Then you would only have to look at it when it got updated. Those
who chose not to look at it would never see it again.
