If you think in patches, I see it would be superfluous. Not that I think that this is the way to look at it - news and patches not necessarily correlate in a 1-1 manner.
About viability, I don't see your argument. Patches, incl their acknowledgement or rejection, already is our day-to-day procedure and the project does not benefit from a faster news-release than this (maybe relaxed for news) scheme would yield. The benefit of doing it the news-patch way, you give yourself:

The problem of such controversial posts would completely be solved if a news post goes as patch to the list. No more rules or assumptions needed - ok'd or not. Like we iterate many times a day for code. Would it not? Otherwise we'd be having more controversial posts, yet not as easily to spot as the git log and impossible to correct. I like the overhead of news-patches more.
