Re: Should we move 20.x related stuff out of NEWS ?

[Richard Stallman]

    I propose to replace the function `view-emacs-news' (whose
    current numeric argument has no sense) by the following function.
    It allows the user to select a release number, finds it among
    different news files, and narrows the buffer to the selected
    release.

It sounds like a good feature.  However, I think it is important to
optimize it by terminating the loop that inserts files once it has
found the specified version.
