Point taken. But still I see the need for something like this.

Not for people who simply download tarballs or .deb files. I
think that software with short release cycles should have all
recent changes documented. A NEWS file will give a good overview
on the feature set currently implemented, but it is useless for
people who want to keep track with development.

I'd expect a ChangeLog to contain everything which is added
while the NEWS file should have consolidated information on the
current feature set.

Cheers,

M'bert
