Started to update the NEWS file for v1.5. Might need a few more

tweaks.

NEWS

@@ -26,6 +26,27 @@ This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
 bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of Open MPI since
 version 1.0.
 
+As more fully described in the "Software Version Number" section in
+the README file, Open MPI typically releases two separate version
+series simultaneously.  Since these series have different goals and
+are semi-independent of each other, a single NEWS-worthy item may be
+introduced into different series at different times.  For example,
+feature F was introduced in the vA.B series at version vA.B.C, and was
+later introduced into the vX.Y series at vX.Y.Z.
+
+The first time feature F is released, the item will be listed in the
+vA.B.C section, denoted as:
+
+   (** also to appear: X.Y.Z) -- indicating that this item is also
+                                 likely to be included in future release
+                                 version vX.Y.Z.
+
+When vX.Y.Z is later released, the same NEWS-worthy item will also be
+included in the vX.Y.Z section and be denoted as:
+
+   (** also appeared: A.B.C)  -- indicating that this item was previously
+                                 included in release version vA.B.C.
