dlet was new in Emacs 28, and the change you mention was done before
Emacs 28 was released.  So NEWS just mentions the introduction of
dlet, and that is enough.

I can only understand the breakage if someone picked up dlet as
originally implemented on master, before Emacs 28 was released.  In
that case, it's the risk people take when they follow the development
code too closely.

As for the patch, I'd like to hear opinions about the need for dlet*.

Thanks.
