The NEWS entries need to be treated as being at least close to on par
with the rest of the docs - it's OK if someone can't come up with the
words themselves, but if that's the case, then it's preferable to ask
for help with the wording explicitly.

Is my suggested rephrasing correct? I don't know, as I'm not familiar
with either the original problem or what was done to fix it.

Regards,
Nick.
