I find the notion of "fits under" strange, but perhaps I have  a
different view of NEWS.

To me, NEWS should summarize all user-visible changes of consequence,
with the intended audience being people who are using geos somehow but
not really intimately familiar with it.

So, a change to C++11 is certainly huge.

But, withdrawal of any file previously installed in my opinion should
always be mentioned explicitly.
