If you knew everything about the previous release, you're supposed to
be able to know everything about the new release just by reading NEWS.
You're not even supposed to have to read the manual. Or at least
those were Stallman's rules for Emacs NEWS. I thought it was kind of
a waste; why not just summarize changes in NEWS and point people to
the manual for details?
But yes, of course new commands should be mentioned.
