Well, this was started as my attempt to give a public service that
shows a summary of what is happening in the entire integration tree,
as there was nothing like that before (and going to github.com and
looking at 'pu' branch would not give you an easy overview).  As
many people contribute many topics to the project, complaining that
it talks about too many topics would not get you anywhere.

If you find "What's cooking" report not serving your needs, and if
no one finds it not serving his or her needs, then I can stop
sending these out, of course, but I am not getting the impression
that we are at that point, at least not yet.
