It would be convenient to be able to use 'promote in newsroom' for these stories:
It would mean that an editor could enable the 'promote in newsroom' toggle and then move across to the sidebar to handle publication, rather than going over and back to set 'published' and then return to the story.
It would make it possible to use a scheduled transition to move a draft news story to published, and have it immediately appear as a promoted story.
though I am not sure the benefit would justify the work involved.
At the moment, it's not possible to set a draft or archived story to 'promote in newsroom'. There's some discussion in https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov_news/pull/38 about this.
