Probably because the status blog -> news script is now using
Supersedes: headers to overwrite previous versions of an
announcement when a new one is posted. eternal-september
honours them (at least in these circumstances) and deletes
the "old" message, but does not appear to update the overview
database, so the headers still appear in your client.
There are, I suppose, three possibilities:
1. I turn off the 'Supersedes' headers again and all the previous
versions of the announcements will remain.
2. Eternal-September make a change to also remove cancelled posts
from the overview database (which may not be feasible).
3. Nothing changes.
I personally am happy with any of those outcomes...
