Yes, I think so. Though I think we should also preserve some of the older
news as well (but that's just a detail.
I think it is important that the gcc tarball is self-contained. There is
nothing worse than reading a document in such a file which points me to a
web site that has ceased to exist (for example, because it has moved); as
may well be the case a couple of years from now.
A statement of the form,
To see what has changed in this release see
"http:/fly-by-night.com/fooble/gone-tomorrow.html"
is not adequate. We have already done this far to often with the
bug-reporting aliases.
