Furthermore, the GNUS-NEWS file seems fairly meaningless in Emacs since it has no version number information. Based on the comment at the end of the file ('For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features"'), it seems like the right thing to do would be to merge it into that node (although most of the "installation changes" section seems totally irrelevant) and delete it. The machinery that generates it (see c0165ea4d6) can be deleted too. The last real change to GNUS-NEWS in years seems to have been f332833e21, which was made to the generated file and not the source anyway.
