Hmm. What kind of modes do we want to support? 1) NEWS only, using '* Noteworthy...'. Just like today. 2) NEWS.md only, using '# Noteworthy...'. Seems like progress, but breaks backwards compatibility. 3) NEWS.md -> NEWS symlink. Which format to use? 4) NEWS -> NEWS.md symlink. I think this may be what I would prefer. I've used README -> README.md symlinks for some time, and I haven't seen breakage. Would this use a different format than 3)? 5) Separate NEWS and NEWS.md files. Would they duplicate content? Would one just say 'See the NEWS file' or 'See the NEWS.md file'? /Simon
