If the list is not too long, I think listing those modes in NEWS would
be useful.

Adding cross-references is always a Good Thing, thanks.  The only
situation where such cross-references could be inappropriate is if
some prior text in the same node and close enough already has a
cross-reference to the same place.  In all other cases, such
cross-references are most welcome.
