inst/NEWS would have the advantage of consistency with R itself which also has a NEWS file.
I vote for NEWS for reasons above plus because that's what I use in my packages already ;). IMHO it should be installed automatically if present, i.e. it shouldn't be necessary to have it in inst/NEWS, just plain NEWS should suffice.
I agree that that would be desirable.
Also it would be nice if the HTML files here: http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/ each had a link to the NEWS file so one could get the news on a package prior to installing it.
