What should be in the news and what not?

The Factorio News in this wiki should be that kind of news, which - viewed from some future (for example in a year) - will be still relevant information. Examples:

• Good: A player has made an interesting tweak in building a factory, which never has been seen before.
• Bad: Some youtuber has made his 100th Let's play about Factorio.
• Good: The developers announce Greenlight Campaign of Factorio
• Bad: There is a serious bug in MacOS-Version and you need to update to the current.

If you miss some news here, you can add it yourself (this is a wiki, you know).
