That's nice.  If you still want to tag something as really minor, you
can go with 7.9.0.1, for example.

Btw, we can consider starting a etc/ORG-NEWS directory (much along the
lines of ERC-NEWS, GNUS-NEWS, MH-E-NEWS and NXML-NEWS)

We can mention the worthies since the last Emacs sync - ODT export for
example :-).  (I can submit a patch once a ORG-NEWS file is created in
bzr repo) Another way to fill the file is to make a copy-pasta from
Changes.org.

If it is too much of a hassle, ORG-NEWS could start out empty or very
minimal.  No doubt there is plenty of ORG-NEWS already for the next
Emacs-24.1+ releases.

This will necessitate a ORG-NEWS in Org's repo as well.
