Yes, and the thing that bothers me most is that there are no RSS feeds available. Having these would be even less noise/distraction. I understand why they don't provide RSS feeds, but I don't like it.
My understanding is (was) that each group can choose to enable RSS if they want. I seem to remember Go having RSS and Dart not (or vice versa). When I asked the one that didn't, they said they choose not to enable it (in order to draw people into the site).
