I'd be in favor of bumping within constraints like you mentioned, for #discuss or #watercooler posts. I don't think I'd be interested for articles though. For articles, it is already competitive to land above the fold on the home page. If "bumps" overwhelm the space, then it could be an even worse situation.
I suppose I'm generally alright with the existing situation, even all the duplicates, even the examples you mentioned, because I feel like software is inherently temporary. I think I always hear about new music from a "music I'm listening to while coding" article even if it's the hundredth article I've read like it.
There's got to be a way to keep bumped articles in balance with new articles, though. I feel like we need some solution to buried articles, especially those buried before their time. ;)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
