Hello. 

Currently we use the standard flag called "promote to frontpage". This is
only correct for those cases where /node is the frontpage. For all other 
cases,
thes flag is obsolete, if not completely wrong.

I suggest the folloiwing:
We stop calling /node frontpage.
We call /node "headlines", in documentation and help text.
By default the headlines are set to frontpage (we have that now)
We rename the flag " promote" to "add to healines", or even simply "is 
headline"

Pro
This will improve useability for all these ppl that do not use /node as
frontpage.
It will make our frontpage system clearer, for /node (headlines) becomes just
another frontpage option.

Con:
Users who are used to the current system might get confused when they do not
find the "promote to frontpage flag" anymore.
Regards,
 Bèr
