Yes, we do.  Misc/NEWS is complete, listing everything that's changed 
since the previous version. whatsnew is friendly, and there's a
cutoff point; some changes are too trivial or esoteric to be worth 
mentioning.

Feel free to only edit Misc/NEWS; before releases I'll go through it
to find things I've missed, so there's no need to update whatsnew23.tex.
I don't mind if people edit whatsnew23.tex to add items, but it's 
certainly not necessary.
