It still included NEWS for Emacs 28.1.  I thought we wanted to delete
those, leaving just the news of the single release?

Also, is it possible not to number the items?  The Emacs 28.2 NEWS are
short, so it doesn't matter much, but for a major release the numbers
get to ridiculous values, IMO.  Moreover, people will start reporting
issues referencing these numbers, and we will have to reverse-engineer
them back to NEWS items.

HTML does support itemized lists without numbers, so I think I'd
prefer those instead of numbered lists.

Get ready for bug reports...

Thanks.
