Oh, I double-checked the emacs-26 branch and saw that it was removed
there (but I guess that was right after 26.3). I'll revert that change.
I'm not sure what to do about this then. Should we perhaps add
anything else to admin/release-process to remind about this, for example:
modified admin/release-process
@@ -79,8 +79,10 @@ so e.g. admin/ is fine.) This is important for
legal compliance.
** Remove temporary +++/--- lines in NEWS.
But first make sure there are no unmarked entries, and update the
documentation (or decide no updates are necessary) for those that aren't.
+** Remove "Temporary note" at the top of NEWS.
+
** Try to reorder NEWS: most important things first, related items together.
** For a major release, add a "New in Emacs XX" section to faq.texi.
