ok to me
please open an issue to leave a trace the news "system" has to be removed.
OK will do when merging this PR.
I'll add the PR to the agenda for the next call, to be sure there is no opposition.
The news section isn't used anymore except to announce new releases. We've recently acted that we wouldn't announce Coq releases anymore, only Coq platform releases. The last Coq platform release was announced on GitHub + Coq-Club + Discourse but not on the website for lack of time. Removing the news section would reduce the work of platform maintainers.
My proposal is a minimal change. I didn't remove the code that was able to generate the last three news items for the side-bar. I didn't remove the side-bar. I'm aware it is far from ideal but I'm also counting on a website redesign in (let's say) less than a year, and trying to focus on the content first.
