Actually looking at it a bit closer it seems that R 2.7.0 is a bit
smarter about installing the NEWS file if it's present, see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445635#c11

for more details.  This might affect a few packages that don't
explicitly include NEWS in their %files list.  If this is so, it would
probably be useful if the sample spec files in the R packaging
guidelines:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/R

were also updated accordingly, as many people use those as templates
to create new R packages.
