Nearterm, I think posts like this are fine. They may not feel momentous enough to promote to Featured but
a) from my understanding of your goals it’s still better to do them than not for keeping-the-momentum-going reasons
b) I think they are useful things to have in the zeitgeist and refer to. (Not sure how this fits into your goals, but this is the sort of thing I might have aggregated into something like The Real Hufflepuff Sequence Was The Posts We Made Along the Way, and this may eventually end up in a similar compilation)
Longterm, I think the site will/should end up organized in a way that short posts like this have their place without feeling too small. (This’d have made a fine Facebook post. My own hope [not speaking for the entire development team] is that once we have reliably-personal-blogs on LessWrong, and the ability to subscribe to the blogs of people we like, Rationalist Facebook can just move over to The Part Of LessWrong That Is Kinda Facebook Like)
And meanwhile, of course, I agree very much with the post and it still seems like something the community needs more of.
