I think they're (a) interesting, and (b) not causing any problems.
Reading the NEWS for a major release takes quite a long time, so
I think it's nice that there's also a small "selected highlights"
for historical releases. As a user, I think it's interesting to
learn when Emacs acquired certain features.
Moreover, the node which gets you to them is tiny -- this small
list of links surely isn't taking up any undesirable space, and
no one who isn't interested in the history is going to be following
those links; so to me they seem entirely harmless (for all users),
and useful (for some users). On that basis, I wouldn't remove them.
