Hi,

What's exactly the guideline for choosing between the "Library" and "Extension modules" section when updating Misc/NEWS? Is it just the fact that the modified files live under Lib/ or Modules/?

I've frequently made a mistake when updating Misc/NEWS, and when looking at it, I'm not the only one.

Is there really a good reason for having distinct sections?

If the intended audience for this file are end users, ISTM that the only things that matters is that it's a library change, the fact that the modification impacted Python/C code isn't really relevant.

Agreed. I think "we" should merge them (for some value of a motivated we :-)).

"We" is "me" and it was a 2 line delete in 1fabff717ef4
