NEWS: clarify two points

those two points were rather misleading.

* tmpfs mounts automatically created by systemd (/tmp, /run, /dev/shm,
and others) now have a size and inode limits applied (50% of RAM for
/tmp and /dev/shm, 10% of RAM for other mounts, etc.)
/tmp and /dev/shm, 10% of RAM for other mounts, etc.). Please note
that the implicit kernel default is 50% too, so there is no change
in the size limit for /tmp and /dev/shm.
* nss-mymachines lost support for resolution of users and groups, and
now only does resolution of hostnames. This functionality is now

now automatically set to "Y" at boot, in order to enable pstore
generation for collection with systemd-pstore.
* A new 'hwdb' file has been added that collects information about PCI
and USB devices that correctly support auto-suspend, on top of the
databases for this we import from the ChromiumOS project. If you have
a device that supports auto-suspend correctly and where it should be
enabled by default, please submit a patch that adds it to the
database (see /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-autosuspend.hwdb).
* We provide a set of udev rules to enable auto-suspend on PCI and USB
devices that were tested to currectly support it. Previously, this
was distributed as a set of udev rules, but has now been replaced by
by a set of hwdb entries (and a much shorter udev rule to take action
if the device modalias matches one of the new hwdb entries).
As before, entries are periodically imported from the database
maintained by the ChromiumOS project. If you have a device that
supports auto-suspend correctly and where it should be enabled by
default, please submit a patch that adds it to the database (see
/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-autosuspend.hwdb).
* systemd-udevd gained the new configuration option timeout_signal= as well
as a corresponding kernel command line option udev.timeout_signal=.
