If you're talking about getting a feature known to the maximum number of users possible (and not just hardcore ones who are with us for decades and scrutinize every new release), a lot of those potential users either have been using Emacs a while and don't read NEWS for every release, or will install their first Emacs of some later version than the one that the feature X has been added (and thus will miss all older NEWS files). 1139 one-liner summaries, OTOH, are always searchable with C-s.
