Is it possible to just make things work by default? Is there any problem to simply have logic that checks for NEWS.md and prefers that, if it exists, otherwise fall back to NEWS? Having to put things in cfg.mk for a common setup like using NEWS.md seems unnecessary to me. I will be happy to test this with some packages as soon as this lands in gnulib. Will recent automake be required, or merely opt-in? My trick with README -> README.md symlink works with ancient tooling, and if at all possible, it would be nice to use a NEWS -> NEWS.md symlink, or just rename to NEWS.md. What would you recommend? While we can debate and criticize the various incompatible markdown styles, my perception is that text files named *.md with markdown styling is the new default, comparable to *.txt 20-30 years ago. I think it is a good improvement, and we shouldn't stand in the way. /Simon
