To be absolutely clear, I'm NACK on removing this. As explained above, the value is in promoting places where libvirt is talked about. It doesn't matter whether anyone in libvirt team is curating or participating in the feed or not, there are frequent posts with the libvirt hashtag that are interesting / relevant and this serves to encourage that because it is good for the project.
