Daily scan	26, 130, 131, 163, 171, 207	RSS, headlines only	10 min/day

Setup

Step	Action
1	Load entries into an RSS reader as folders matching the buckets above
2	Subscribe by email to 7, 18, and 121 — retirement and breaking-change notices shouldn't depend on opening a reader
3	Bookmark all R entries; don't add them as feeds
4	Review quarterly; drop anything unclicked in 90 days
