This is a good idea to consider, also.  And +1000 to the Planet point
you made.  I talked about Planet in another post from a different POV
(content is kind of a firehose without grouping or audience

This is an interesting idea; does it mean that we would route *only*
contributor-focused articles to Planet?  I actually think that could
be smart to improve Planet relevance/coherence.
