Why 2 NEWS templates?

I just started adding an entry in doc/en/release-notes/bzr-2.4.txt, and
I noticed that it was missing the vim line down at the bottom. I also
noticed that Vincent recently cleaned up a bunch of too-long lines from
Jelmer. (Which probably wouldn't have happened if the vim line was at
the bottom, since it tells vim to wrap at 74 chars.)

Then I saw that there is both:

  doc/en/release-notes/series-template.txt
  doc/en/release-notes/release-template.txt

^- A header, and the vim line at the bottom. Suspicious?



Anyway, I don't see why we would have 2 templates. My guess is maybe one
was added in old releases and got merged up without someone realizing
there was one already there with a different name?

It seems like we should standardize one way or another. I really like
having the vim line (though I really miss the encoding=utf8 that we used
to be able to use.)
