 * A feature I would like to see is to allow a WordPress editor to “bump” a post
   including having it appear in the site’s RSS Webfeed as a new post and without
   needing to have it be “sticky”.
 * A common example would be an old post relevant to a current situation or has 
   had a lot of revision and updating take place. Here, it would be desireable to
   give it the “new post” treatment including having it appear as a new entry in
   the site’s RSS feed without copying the older post or meddling with the published
   date which may either cause broken links through your site or affect how Google&
   co “see” your site.
 * Here, this would be about preserving internal and external links to the post 
   but effectively bringing it “up front” as a new article. But as you add new content
   to your blog, you may want to allow the article you had bumped to recede from
   the front page.
 * It may be worth adding a “major change” or “ordered-date” field to the database
   specifically to allow ab older article to be bumped, a feature that is similar
   to what happens with forum software where a forum admin may simply want to “bump”
   a particular thread for more exposure.
 * With regards,
