If anything does have lasting value by all means move it to the
handbook/docs. Likewise we could have a webpage of archived news for
anybody doing an upgrade of a 3-year-old system or something. News is
going to be the least of their problems though.
A year seems like a reasonable timeframe for retiring old news - that
is a year from hitting stable, not ~arch (if applicable to stable).
