[R-pkg-devel] Changes to checks on NEWS?

The important information is in the body of the man page for news(),
i.e., found by
    ?utils::news

and this explains why putting an "o" in front of a line clears the
NOTE. Once I realized that CRAN is running this, I could see the
"why". Thanks.

NEWS has been used for a long time by the utils::news() function, which in turn is used by the HTML help system.
