That concern is in the wrong priority.

"Your system might break" is more important than "ugh, annoying news items"

Viewing the news item once per clean install is still less of a "Problem" than 
"everyone with an old system syncs, doesn't get any warning, upgrades openrc to
a version which breaks this, and they brick their boot"
