Depending on what your standards are, I think that if the news section
only contained information about the latest revision (or the development
revision), that the file size would be fine.

No, to my knowledge none of the core packages don't use etc/NEWS or any
other NEWS file. Not that this shouldn't be possible -- I don't imagine
it should be too difficult to hack up something like that if there is
a need for something like that, especially since Emacs 29 has brought
along at least two larger packages (use-package and Eglot) into the
core, that might have their own separate audiences.
