Entries in NEWS are subdivided into several categories; one of them is "Lisp changes in Emacs X.YZ". locate-file is a function that didn't exist in previous versions, so it's a Lisp-level change. Moreover, we want Lisp programmers to know about it because it performs its job in a way that hides system dependencies while doing TRT. It also was important enough to require a new primitive, locate-file-internal. All of these IMHO point to the fact that locate-file should be in NEWS.
