Apparently yes.  No idea why (the ChangeLog entry of the change
introducing support for them didn't say).  I trust that, in case
someone really need them, they can be re-introduced easily.  My
hope and expectation is that no one will actually need them.

You are absolutely right.  Done as follows:

  diff --git a/NG-NEWS b/NG-NEWS
