Of course doc or NEWS can be incomplete during development.
No one claimed otherwise.
I feel that it was a higher priority for Richard. You can disagree.
Placeholders are not how NEWS is _supposed_ to work. Incomplete or inaccurate
NEWS or doc should not be the _aim_, even if some incompleteness or
incorrectness is inevitable. A placeholder is appropriate if it cannot be
avoided.
