The only reason it isn't usual is because the change normally goes in
at roughly the same time as the NEWS update, so it is very rare to
have a change in a release without the corresponding NEWS entry. If
NEWS entries get missed for the release, better to add them in the
right place afterwards (it's easy enough to tell which entries were
originally missing by comparing the NEWS file from source control with
the one from the release).

Cheers,
Nick.
