[PATCH 8/9] Update NEWS about the warnings-over-strictness precedence.

[Stefano Lattarini]

This is [PATCH 11/10] of the older series, which has already been reviewed
and ACK'd "with nits addressed", so a new review shouldn't be required.
Anyway, the amended patch is attached, for completeness.

Regards,
   Stefano
