I think you’re reaching an unintended conclusion.  We could make the tag 
“planet” or something more specific, the point is to publish the content that 
authors _intentionally_ choose to publish to Planet.  It’s entirely about 
intention.

As a bit of clarification, my understanding is that the Planet policy is 
subject to the Mozilla Participation Guidelines, as with all project 
activities, so it’s really been “send everything that doesn’t cross those 
lines” for quite some time.  This is not a change in policy, merely a reminder 
that Planet falls under the MPG.
