Indeed. During distro Python version transitions (including the 3.5 one I'm currently working on), verifying intentional changes via NEWS entries has been really critical. I'll point again to https://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingToPy3k/34to35 which I'm using to document the changes that I've seen break actual packages. Thanks for volunteering to do this work David, and for doing it in the past other-David!
