Another aspect of this is a quasi-journalistic principle:  News and 
announcements are, well, news; blog posts are opinion pieces.  It's 
useful to keep those separate, and different criteria should apply.

Personally, as a consumer of planet, I wouldn't want conference-related 
announcements mixed into the feed.  That's what the news section and 
conference listings are for.
