I agree. But I don't see what makes the proposal any better. We can (and do, AFAIK) discuss which items belong in NEWS. But there are many more-or-less-major changes which might require attention when you do a dist-upgrade. Filtering this list down to one or two items is not realistic. And prefixing the list with ATTENTION won't make the job any easier. Bjørn
