My suggestions were very much intended as "suggestions for discussion".

Like you, I also rarely visit RAT (maybe once a month) but I'm aware that others use it more often than Newest Nodes (or, at least, substantially more often than I do). Similarly for the Front Page (which I perhaps look at on a weekly basis).

While Newest Nodes would be my preference (based on my usage), this has very little to do with what I personally want, and is more about whether such a change is generally wanted and, if so, how best to implement it.
