Comment (by iandunn):

 > we should simply remove the wordpress.org/news/ feed from the dashboard
 widget, as that is already included in the planet feed

 IMO it makes sense to pin the latest official news item at the top.

 The other items in the Planet feed are valuable, but are often much more
 ephemeral, or targeted to specific groups (e.g., theme developers). The
 w.org/news feed is usually things that apply to all users, or are things
 that project leaders want to spotlight.
