Yeah, I seriously think package documentation belongs to tarballs and
gets installed to /usr/share/docs/${PF} - not to gentoo-x86 repository
where you are forcing every single user to download such stuff via rsync
and have it sitting on their disk even if they don't use the package at
all.
And if you need a pointer to new features, a simple 'elog "Read the
NEWS/Changelog in /usr/share/doc/${PF}" or a link to a website is
definitely more appropriate that abusing critical news for howtos and
new features announcement.
