I'd have said yes: Misc/NEWS is for "developers" and whatsnew is for
"users", although this is blatantly a bogus categorization.
NEWS items are brief to the point of curtness, whatsnew has more
explanation and some examples. Also I'd hope/expect NEWS to be more
comprehensive -- whatsnew shouldn't need to have every little thing in
it.
Cheers,
