Incorrect. Right now, readers should ignore news-blah.unread and only
pay attention to news.unread. Readers will have to be updated to deal
with multiple repositories whenever the multiple repositories GLEP is
approved.

| There's no difference as far as readers go.

Sure there is. there's no metadata/ directory in overlays.

| Nope, which is why news.read shouldn't be specified.

news.read is specified because there was demand for it the last time
around. It's staying specified because the reasons given were based
upon convincing use cases rather than random speculation.
