But the entry specifically talks about key bindings in that particular
mode, so I still don't see why you think it should in a more general
section.

Are the examples you have in mind in NEWS (i.e. Emacs 28) or in
NEWS.27? Or maybe just show a couple of examples of "Library Name" so
I wouldn't need to look them up? And in any case, is that relevant to
the issue at hand, or is that a separate issue?
Thanks.
