On the other hand, Announcements is working to the point where they can forego Forum highlights to stop wikis from abusing them. I'm really thankful they're doing it this way instead of retiring Forum wholesale right now since there's no good replacement yet. What I'm asking is, what is the harm of leaving the two working alongside each other until it's time for Forum to go? It takes extra effort for them to retire forum highlights and I'm not really seeing the benefit. Sure, I've seen forum highlight "abuse" you mentioned, but is it really all that frequent and is it really annoying many users so much to the point of its separate retirement?
