I guess it is a matter of expectations. From the feedback that I got, a couple 
of people consider the planet to be about KDE and are thus estranged when 
controversial subjects such as politics do come up.

Sure, due to how the planet is set-up and depending on the blog post(s) in 
question, it can be a bit cluttered up / makes it harder to find the content 
the above named people came to planet for. 

Hence offering the idea of a filter, which would allow these people to read 
what they came to the planet for, which is directly KDE related content. 

Of course one can decide that we do not want to create that opportunity for 
these people due to technical, effort-versus-gain or many other valid reasons, 
that will in my opinion just to lead to these people being alienated and not 
reading the planet. Which is why I think a filter would be nice, but I'm most 
certainly not going to die on that hill.
