I definitely support this for v1.1. Let’s come back to it after v1.0 is published. Further discussion on this feature can go here:

Quite frequently, big news would be shared on the forum before it turned up on the blog. The topics that really stood out could be “featured” via a blog post. Before posting, we’d have the option of bbPress creating a new topic, or simply point to an existing topic, which in this case is what we’d do. Quite handy!
