Will never happen.

Remember, Apple is asking publications to take a 30% cut of their subscription prices is order to be on Newstand. That's a huge chunk, and a lot of magazines refused to come on board at first.

So in return, Apple is promising publishers that their newstand app will always be on the homescreen.
 
I find Newsstand really annoying, with its weird-looking double 's', stubborn icon that won't go into a folder and the totally pointless (in my opinion) functionality.

I hide that bugger as far down my home screen pages as possible. It would be nice if there were a way to properly hide it or disable it altogether.
