Updating NEWS for fixed bugs

A special case occurs to me:
If a bug was both introduced and fixed within a single release cycle, so
no release ever had the bug, then it's not relevant information to users
that the bug was fixed in a particular release. So in that case it seems
appropriate *not* to add the bug to NEWS (but still to mention it in the
ChangeLog entry). Comments?
(Bug 13566 - the gets issue, which for now I haven't added to NEWS - is a
case in point.)
