I think we don't need to divert deprecation/alias from its 
intended use. I think NEWS serves its job well enough.

When having emacs-next installed and keeping it upgraded, users 
should be able to expect that the upcoming release of Emacs is 
installed, without deprecation warnings. After all, the package is 
not called emacs29 but emacs-next.

That being said, I believe it's a good idea to 
define-deprecated/public-alias emacs-next-pgtk and 
emacs-next-pgtk-xwidgets.
