I'm a bit disappointed to see that a relative HOME is now documented in the Emacs manuals, since IMO it lends legitimacy to a questionable usage. I don't see it mentioned in eg the bash manual. I also don't see why it is in NEWS since it is described as a bug fix, and those aren't normally mentioned.
