Severity: minor

This item in NEWS is under "Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in
Emacs 30.1".

    ** Mwheel
    The 'wheel-up/down/left/right' events are now bound unconditionally,
    and the 'mouse-wheel-up/down/left/right-event' variables are thus used
    only to specify the 'mouse-4/5/6/7' events that might still
    happen to be generated by some old packages (or if 'mouse-wheel-buttons'
    has been set to nil).

Would it be happier somewhere else?  Mouse wheel support is a very basic
editor feature, so it doesn't seem to belong under "specialized" modes
and packages.

However, I'm not sure to what extent this is a user-facing feature.
Perhaps it should be under Lisp Changes?
