Emacs 24.3 apparently removed command `bookmark-insert-current-bookmark'
(and so removed its keybinding in `bookmark-minibuffer-read-name-map'.

That's too bad.  But this bug report is about not documenting this
incompatible change.  Nothing in the Emacs 24.3 (or later) NEWS about
it.

You should not just remove user-level things like commands without
letting users know.

No, it's not too late.  We distribute the NEWS for older releases too.

NEWS should reflect changes for a release.  Users should be able to
find what got changed and when, by consulting NEWS for different
releases.
