The NEWS file is only for stuff that happens in the Hurd in CVS.  How
about things like Ognyans's ext2fs work or GNUMach, etc?

Perhaps it would be even nice to mention if something like the newest
XFree is ported or fixed to work with GNU/Hurd, etc.  Or things like
coreutils supporting the extra Hurd bits.  That would be nice because
people don't look at all those sites to find out if it has support for
the Hurd.  But this part is perhaps a stupid idea... :P
