Ahhh! Thank you.
I never realized that the 'green bar' showed conference announcements at
all. Given the that 'list of releases' always floods the feed, I guess
every time I've ever visited I happen to see a release announcement there.

Agreed 100%! I had no idea!
Second question: Why would conference announcements appear there at
all? Why don't we push a code change that treats that section just
like the homepage news feed ... and filtering all conferences away? I
don't see any reason why a 'random conference' should appear on
documentation pages, versus 'real news / latest launches'. etc.

Sounds good! Thanks. I'll take a look at see how I can actually do
that. (Never looked into the XML before. Just used the tool and moved
on quickly)
Thanks,
