You should restore this NEWS entry and add a new one to say that the
patch has
been reverted.
This may be a done deal, but: no. If a patch is reverted, the NEWS entry
that got in with it gets out again on reversal. The NEWS file
is for users of the release; there is no point telling them that a
change was made first, and than got undone.
I was going to say the same thing, but ...
If a change is released in x.y.z and reverted for release x.y.(z+k),
then I think both notices should be present in their respective sections.
I checked the date on the original patch and it was before 3.2.1, so
perhaps it *was* released.
