A very draft NEWS item based on "git shortlog --no-merges master --not

type...
That's an interesting git command, but shouldn't you use maint or
v3.3.3 rather than v3.3.0 ?
No idea... I just discovered how to do that! I figure the maint/v3.3.3
changes to 3.3.0 are not new features so that should not matter.
And maybe it's better to look at the bug tracker for finding the most
important and visible changes :
http://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=index&tasks=&project=3&due=69&status[]=
But I think your list is already mostly fine, except it miss the
single most important change IMO :)

Use sync.c for upgrade transaction prepare and commit
This patch utilizes the power of sync.c to fix FS#3492 and FS#5798.
Now an upgrade transaction is just a sync transaction internally (in alpm),
so all sync features are available with -U as well:
* conflict resolving
* sync dependencies from sync repos
* remove unresolvable targets
That's two long standing bugs, to say the least.
I very much agree! The commit header just did not stand out to me.
