Just my personal opinion but...
I think there are more than enough sticky's now as it is. It takes a lot of scrolling as it is to get to the new posts, hate to see that lengthened unneccesarily
Before going to the forums, my first stop is usually MTU.com .Right there it tells me the current release, of course that's just the stop off point on my way to the news page to see what new stuff is in the works.
Admittedly my opinion might be colored by the fact I check in often and by my aversion to sticky's.
