I made that change, but please note that it is not enough to show each
symbol in NEWS as the default when you type "C-h o".  This is because
"C-h o" tests symbol-at-point for being bound, either as a function or
a variable or a face etc., and if the corresponding library is not yet
loaded, those tests will fail.

If this is deemed okay, we can close this bug.
