Tossing in an idea
Would it be possible to shift the built in News recipes to a system more like the get user PI notice uses?:
saving 5 M of base traffic (the Zip file) on every calibre installation
Even the full available 'list' would only be pulled (refreshes) only if the user has active subscriptions/uses the Get News icon
Individual news-source updates would be near instantly available, instead of needing to wait for the next release cycle
If those of us who do not us any news source, the News related PI traffic would approach zero
