Please note that the model openSUSE will take would be this:

The news site becomes a mere aggregator; but the current editors will create a 
new site with the former news articles which will be automatically aggregated. 
On top of that some planet posts will be promoted there.

Basically, if you don't promote any planet posts, nothing changes - and nobody 
would see the difference. However, you could sometimes pick out those great 
planet blogposts and get them on the news site without any work :D
