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. > Note that we currently have some issues with adding markers > around single quoted strings.
