| Indeed news should not be considered as a problem that much as most of
| it could be recreated from the various feeds (even if local posts could
| then be lost definitely before having been transfered).

Losing news and refetching from other servers would probably give you
different article numbers, meaning all the read/unread state on any
clients out there will be wrong, so that's not particularly appealing.
