I think having a category or some kind of tag to mark articles as 
time-sensitive is a good idea - I also think there are some articles 
that might be better for a longer commenting period and others that are 
useful only for a specific window of time (as mentioned with specific 
Fedora releases). I think this also depends on the author's activity 
with the magazine too.


Cheers,
