How this endpoint behaves

Sections whose feed was empty and unchanged for years (news/real-lives, news/news-opinion, sport/cricket, sport/rugby-league, whats-on/arts-culture-news, whats-on/comedy-news), sections whose feed lists only photo galleries (whats-on/film-news) and topic pages under /all-about/ are not included.
