* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
In the past we used suppress_from_homepage, it had mixed semantics
it would remove from category list if category list was on home and
unconditionally remove from latest.
New setting explicitly only removes from latest list but leaves the
category list alond

* Made staff groups messageable by the system.
My discourse instance will be making regular automated public backups
of specific categories. It's preferred to be able to directly control
the path and filename of the output, rather than letting discourse
choose for me. This was already mostly supported, a filename parameter
just needed to be passed through the cli app.
