 The first item in the News widget is always the latest post from the
 `wordpress.org/news` blog. The next 3 posts are selected from the
 `planet.wordpress.org` feed, which itself includes the
 `wordpress.org/news` blog.

 This can lead to duplicate entries:

 One potential solution is to search the list of Planet feed items, to
 check ifany of them match the current News item. If one does, it would be
 removed, so that the next oldest item takes its place.
