Well, my opinion is that

  * We should not propagate the use of symbolic links in git repositories,
    because it causes real practical problems to users on Windows, with
    very small benefit.

  * It's OK to support only NEWS and NEWS.md. MarkDown is what is thousands of
    young programmers are learning (because of GitHub — we may like it or not),
    not Org, not AsciiDoc, not ReStructured Text.
