I was going through the steps for creating a test release and noticed that
some new features in recent releases weren't mentioned in NEWS. I just wanted
to double-check whether there's any strong feeling regarding what's notable
enough for inclusion here. Is this fine, or is it more granular than intended?
(If the former, i'll probably also update creating-a-release.txt to say
something to the effect that NEWS should generally document new features and
serious bug fixes, but not routine fixes or completion/contrib updates.)
