I basically agree with everything you said. Specifically regarding book reviews, which I personally consider some of the best content here, I am planning to create a separate book review index post. Then I will include a link in each newsletter, and also pin the index. Unfortunately, SN still doesn't have a perpetual edit feature, so I may need to put out a revised edition quarterly.
This territory is highlighting a few valuable features for SN to add. In addition to subterritories and perpetual editing, posts like book reviews would really benefit from putting more emphasis on evergreenness.
I floated the idea past k00b to make "late zapping" heavily rewarded in a similar way to how "early zapping" is rewarded. I'm not sure that's quite right, but we want people to have an incentive to continue zapping these posts as they age.

Yes. I thought of late zapping too. Maybe once a post is over a month old?

I imagine they have plenty of data to know when zaps essentially drop to zero. It might even be as little as a week, but the reward could gradually grow overtime.

Having perpetual edits on admin-pinned posts in territories seems like a great idea (though no idea how hard it is to implement). I do hope to add more reviews to that index myself.
