The serious purpose of the Antinews section is to help users
understand Emacs version N from a manual for Emacs N+1.  Suppose you
are starting to use version N, which happens to come with your
GNU/Linux distro, and you buy latest the Emacs manual, and it happens
to be the version for Emacs N+1.  The Antinews will show you what is
different about version N.

If we are going to document this, it takes no more work to do it in a
funny way.
