I was reminded by the recent spate of new packages -- how hard would
it be for Setup to support a 'New' category, which new packages go
into automatically, and expire out after. . .three months?  I only
update once every month or so, and often think "Now, what was that
cool new package I saw announced a few weeks ago?" and can't remember,
or be bothered to trawl the archives. . .

Obviously not a high-priority requirement, but if a) it's easy and b)
someone who knows the code is inspired to add it at some point, I
think it would be a palpable improvement.
