What it tells us is that it is absolutely vital that said articles be
of the highest possible quality, and in fact should be brought to
Featured Article status as absolutely soon as possible. (Seriously.)

Fixations du jour are fine, at least spread over a month. If that many
people are interested in a given article over a whole month, that's a
significant topic and we have no real excuse for not having it be
featured or near-featured quality. We're no. 17 on Alexa 3-month
average, no. 15 today - that many readers are *significant*.
