The documentation for skeleton-end-newline says: "...This just influences the way the default `skeleton-end-hook' behaves." but in fact skeleton-end-newline is used in (or (eolp) (not skeleton-end-newline) (newline-and-indent)) in the function `skeleton-insert¢ OUTSIDE of skeleton-end-hook (which is, by default nil). To witness behaviour contrary to the documentation, run latex-mode and call M-x latex-insert-block itemize with the cursor at the beginning of a non empty line. There will be a blank line after the \end{itemize}. This differs from previous emacs versions.
