I don't know about 2.10, which very few sites have yet, but earlier versions
of news make use of the 'f' followup mechanism cumbersome because it doesn't
put you into an editor.  I prefer to see people carefully composing their
news with an editor than using followups which cannot be edited.  The
small gain of a "References" field is more than compensated for by ill-composed
articles.
