IIUC users are the target audience for the news. So far, these are just
internal refactors that mostly benefit developers.
The target is also distro packagers, so they learn of things that
might affect packaging design.
Well in this case we didn't really remove anything yet so even distro
packagers may get saturated by these entries if we do it too
often without any real change.

I view news.xml not only as a way of communicating changes to
users/packagers but also as a way of giving credit to developers of some
important features. If we don't want to advertise these two, that's
fine. But then we should also consider blockdev paragraph - it's a
change that's transparent to users, isn't it? Should they care that we
implemented it?
