Ahhh!  Thank you.

I never realized that the 'green bar' showed conference announcements at
all.   Given the that 'list of releases' always floods the feed, I guess
every time I've ever visited I happen to see a release announcement there.

Agreed 100%!  I had no idea!

Second question:  Why would conference announcements appear there at
all?   Why don't we push a code change that treats that section just
like the homepage news feed ... and filtering all conferences away?   I
don't see any reason why a 'random conference' should appear on
documentation pages, versus 'real news / latest launches'.  etc.

Sounds good!  Thanks.   I'll take a look at see how I can actually do
that.  (Never looked into the XML before.  Just used the tool and moved
on quickly)

Thanks,
Eli
