I forgot to mention about it. I have seen three preview pull requests about new NEWS handling. All of them are quite large. That's one reason why I suggest removing some sections / entries from NEWS now. I thought reducing changelog size may help the transition. If I was wrong, let's stop discussion until transition. I want to help workflow team. I don't want to disturb them.
