changing the status quo always requires consensus imo.
if we want to start using our frontpage for future "blog" entries, then I
agree that we would need consensus/support from the other contributors
first.
if nothing else release announcements will be less visible on the
frontpage, and that can be an undesired side-effect for the qa releases,
which already have too little exposure/feedback.

I would be curious why do you think that.
I mean if I understand you correctly, you are saying that it is a bad thing
if somebody (or a small group of people) can't change our current "policy"
on the frontpage posts.

Personally I think that it would be counter-productive to remove this entry
now, I think the best course of action would be improving the entry to
remove the controversial parts (what you already mentioned doing it
yourself), and as nobody argued against the intention of the post, I think
it would be nice to start up an official blog where we can put up these
kind of posts in the future.
I would prefer either using some 3rd party blogging platform with our own
domain name (like wordpress.com, I'm fairly sure we could get a free
account there), or using a static blogging engine like octopress which
makes the maintenance cost near-zero.
