I personnally do not much like digests, precisely because containing
too much information at a time.
The best feature of digests is that they are throwable in one click,
I'm afraid that's the olny one.
I'm not sure if we must legiferate at each specific event (a French sport !)
The question is whether such burst of activity will occur frequently or not.
