I don't believe in "security by obscurity", so I think this should be
in NEWS. Especially since it's in the manual. I would suggest a
slight rephrase, though:
+++
** New user option 'nsm-trust-local-network'.
Allows skipping Network Security Manager checks for hosts on your
local subnet(s). It defaults to nil. Usually, there should be no
need to set this non-nil, and doing that risks opening your local
network connections to attacks. So be sure you know what you are
doing before changing the value.
Thanks.
