I don’t know of any reason why they can’t be edited, especially if the 
purpose is just to clarify information that is already there (that’s 
what unstable/testing feedback is for).  If the changes are so large 
that you consider that even unstable/testing users need to see them, 
simply bump the version number the NEWS entry applies to.
