The idea came up to just have a single page per major version, which
incidentally simplified generating the files.  (I was particularly happy
about the latter.)

That's why I added the headlines for the versions, and also anchors so
we would link to:

    https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/news/NEWS.28.html#28.1
    https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/news/NEWS.28.html#28.2

I think we can remove the numbers.  I only kept them because it felt
easier to navigate such a large file with them, but I'm happy either way.

(The change would just be one liner to the org header.)

Of course.  No good deed goes unpunished.  ;-)
