notes: >
  Four feeds; the /blog/tag/datacenters/ feed is the precise source (datacenter investments, Pecos, Fairwater, water,
  Maia), the corporate blog / On the Issues / Source feeds are filtered on title+summary before any fetch
  (params.include / exclude). blogs.microsoft.com robots.txt sets crawl-delay 10 → rpm 6.
