The idea came up to just have a single page per major version, which
incidentally simplified generating the files. (I was particularly happy
about the latter.)
That's why I added the headlines for the versions, and also anchors so
we would link to:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/news/NEWS.28.html#28.1
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/news/NEWS.28.html#28.2

I think we can remove the numbers. I only kept them because it felt
easier to navigate such a large file with them, but I'm happy either way.
(The change would just be one liner to the org header.)

Of course. No good deed goes unpunished. ;-)
