My co-worker Felicia Neff submitted a patch to innfeed in order to
make it easier to keep articles in order. This patch added a key,
"backlog-feed-first".
Here is a patch to doc/man/innfeed.conf.5 which should help other
sites make sense of the new functionality. Please let me know if
this is acceptable.

Normally,
