   Some of us technically already do that by reading the headlines of   
   articles on Phoronix. I download their RSS feed automatically on Liferea,   
   and if there is a significant change, I actually read the article rather   
   than just look at the headline. For example, the NTFS support in Linux has   
   improved significantly recently and since I have all my movies on an NTFS   
   partition, it makes sense for me to learn what the differences are from   
   what was there originally. Nevertheless, I don't need to know that   
   compiling in some obscure language is 1% faster than it was in 2002 or   
   that the kernel suddenly supports an extension in the Chinese processors   
   in the Longsoon processors that it didn't before. Maybe that gets Larry   
   Pietraskiewicz erect enough to spank it to his loads of Star Trek ASCII   
   porn, but it does nothing for me.
