I'm glad this is so. I didn't know how things stood. However, my main point is the last one: regardless of the current state of marking up NEWS, we still need someone to collect just the parts that checkers should read. > NEWS has separate sections for Lisp and non-Lisp changes. To make things really easy, we should omit the parts of NEWS that aren't pertinent and someone doesn't need to read for this purpose.
