Counting, and polls, is silly: what we really need is a rough consensus
(from those of us that care enough to read this list) on what is best
for the project. Nonetheless, count me as a -1 for changing the
guidelines until a better rationale and some solid examples are given.
I think the onus is on those proposing a change to convince us the
status quo is not working.
Also -1 to creating a second "corporate-focused" blog.
For an example of what a aggregator with a more relaxed policy might
look like, check out planet.mysql.com. It used to be a tighter,
more technically focused blog, but it is now a firehouse of all sorts
of things that I find challenging to wade through and keep up with
(although the blast of Oracle-related posts has subsided a bit in
the past few months).
