Re: merging etc

[Richard Stallman]

    Is that sort of thing normaly documented in NEWS? I thought the
    purpose of NEWS was to be a somewhat terse overview?

If I am going to update the manual based on NEWS, NEWS has to contain
all the information I need in order to do this.  At least for now.
We could delete some of it later.

If someone else updates the manual now, so it need not be done from
NEWS, then a more terse entry in NEWS would be adequate.
