I really dislike how every point release of certain projects (Go and Gitlab being prime examples) gets onto the HN frontpage. Even as someone who loves some of the projects, I find it to be a problem. Yet I don't want to "flag" the post, because I assume there is some kind of penalty for the submitter, beyond mere downvoting.
