Thanks for noticing. Misc/NEWS is always somewhat problematic.  As you probably 
know, the Core Workflow SIG, led by Brett, is working on a long-term solution 
to generating Misc/NEWS, a solution that should be available soon.  One of the 
duties of the release manager is to "edit" Misc/NEWS; I was planning to wait 
for the new Misc/NEWS solution and for more of the conversion to Git/GitHub to 
settle to do anything major to the master (i.e. 3.7) version.  There have 
already been some major merge mistakes for the 3.6.x Misc/NEWS.  I would 
recommend not to worry too much about master's Misc/NEWS right now.  I may do 
some cleaning up before the new Misc/NEWS process is introduced but I will also 
be reviewing it prior to each of the preview releases, which start later this 
year.
