"Simplest" in the sense that it is the least work to implement and to
explain to other developers, under the constraints that (1) user-facing
text (e.g., C-h n) properly quotes according to the GNU coding
standards, and (2) other file-viewing programs behave adequately on
etc/NEWS even on old-fashioned text consoles.
There is plenty of precedent for straight quoting in other text files in
Emacs, as well as in etc/NEWS itself before today's changes, so I'm
inclined to go back to it in this particular case even though it's
neither my first preference nor yours.
