Comment 22 for bug 1992026

The original bug report mentioned the following:

"- There is product interest in keeping the message there."

"When we designed the whole hook mechanism for what was ua esm back in the day, the intent was for this to be an interface to **tastefully** display information about additional updates you are missing out on without a subscription." (emphasis added)

The patch which was just pushed switches the message to the following:

#
# News about significant security updates, features and services will
# appear here to raise awareness and perhaps tease /r/Linux ;)
# Use 'pro config set apt_news=false' to hide this and future APT news.
#

Is there product interest in advertising Reddit? Also, I don't think this is a "tasteful" way to display such information, instead it seems juvenile.
