Much like how 140 characters usually isn't enough to capture ideas properly, I think there are a lot of exceptions to this that you haven't considered:
- discussion topics, a la #DevDiscuss
- real-time news, e.g. when AWS goes down
- off-hand thoughts/responses, e.g. when @antirez asks for Redis dev ideas
- announcements that don't get press releases, e.g. when Chris Lattner left Tesla
