(can't speak for the original author, but) I on the other hand liked it
more this way. Since >=4.0 has been available for quite some time
already (package.masked), people might've done the upgrade with the info
available in pkg_postinst(). And then again this news item seems useless
if you never had <4.0 installed anyway.

You should receive a notification about this news item after you sync,
before you world-update. I do prefer it like this, seems a bit clearer,
but no strong opinions either way...
