The problem is is that, precisely as the parameter name reveals, this is a
HACK.

For initial listing in Google News Wikinews had to completely cease listing any
developing stories on the main page. This is a significant disincentive to
attracting new contributors. (If any developing story simply had "1234" in the
title it would automatically be indexed by Google News).

I do not want to disparage the key MediaWiki developers; they are stretched
thin and any issue on Wikipedia is far, far more visible than on Wikinews.
However, Amgine's extension is a powerful, and flexible general-purpose
solution to the issue of RSS, Atom, and Google News feeds from any MediaWiki
install.

Can we have assurances that the permanent solution (and addition of a gallery
option to DPL) will be reviewed seriously and - hopefully - implemented in the
near future? The gallery option is of great interest to Commons where they
would like to de-emphasise lower resolution Featured Images which are generally
older.
