I guess it could be a manifestation of 'What would I like to see as part of this feed about Maemo'. Do I want to see warnings about package companies in UK? No. Do I want to see information about BBC Radio 3 on tablet, Community updates, Interview with GeneralAntilles? Yes. Especially since planet ends up on the front page of maemo.org, it is very important to keep the feed relevant.

Example - Facebook: A lot of crap in the news feed, some things you are interested in, some things you are not. You can regulate this through "Show me more of this" "Show me less of this" - and it's very useful to avoid seeing what plants your childhood classmate has planted in their virtual sandbox..
