I wouldn't want to see a lot of updates. Much more than one a month I think I would find irritating, especially as more people join the site. A "hey, I am publishing this" notice is cool, perhaps something else for major accomplishments or news, but beyond that I wouldn't want to have a lot of "hey, I just added RSS for comments!" type of announcements.
One of the things about having a tab is that the launch announcements would stick around there a little bit longer.

Why not do it both ways - in the main area and then have a startup site area, maybe using a tag. I think the convenience of having all the new startup sites in one area for people to explore would be great. Generically, having some kind of tags for categories here would be a great advance, such as "VC's" "Angels" "Programming" "UI" "Startups" etc etc.
If you accompany each update of, for example, squeezed books, with a learning from the last time you posted, then people will vote it up.
I posted here asking for feedback with my site twice, fifteen days apart, and nobody questioned whether I should do this. I think news.yc is inclusive as is.
