NEWS in Emacs 22 contains something like this
** The command `repeat' no longer attempts to repeat a command bound
to an input event.
but I don't understand it. What is "a command bound to an input
event" intended to mean? For instance, consider `forward-word'. It
is bound to the input event C-f, and C-x z does repeat it.

My bad. We could write
** The command `repeat' no longer attempts to repeat commands bound
to input events represented as lists.
but maybe we shouldn't mention the change at all. I added the entry
only to make sure that people won't get surprised by the new behavior.

I think this description is still too close the a ChangeLog entry.
Maybe just
** The command `repeat' now only attempts to repeat commands bound
to actual key events, not mouse events.

Yes, that would be fine as well,
Stefan

I checked that in. Feel free to remove the entry if you think
it's not needed :-)

To tell you the truth, I'm more concerned about it being incorrect than
superfluous, so if the original author of the patch (at which I haven't even
bothered to look) could (i|co)nfirm.

Yes, that would be fine as well,
I agree, please delete it from NEWS.
