    changes, since humor is not the _only_, or not even the primary purpose
    of the antinews.   Its primary purpose is to provide accurate and useful
    info about differences with earlier Emacs versions.

Pretty much.  More precisely, it is meant to indicate how to use
the manual for the previous Emacs version.

However, we try to make it humorous too, and usually that does not in
any way conflict with the primary purpose.  So let's try not to lose
any humor as we correct the details.
