Yes, these are gone now.

Well, it is a problem with the translation infrastructure.

Yes, that's what I mean.  The dutch translation is quite
minimal (well, delivery level 2, it could be smaller), but
is internally consistent.  "Changes" has been translated
everywhere.

The /english/ news.itexi refers to "Changes" (untranslated),
of course.

We could mandate copying news.itexi and add a bunch of
@untranslated, but I think that's silly and unnecessary.
Moreover, make skeleton-update is broken, so that's hard
to do.

No, but it is also not referenced from there.

That's already done for every file in nl/, this "Changes" is
inside Documentation/web.

The resulting website output is fine, and has been fine
for over two weeks.
