    blurb is a tool designed to rid CPython core development of the scourge of
    Misc/NEWS conflicts.

    The core concept: split Misc/NEWS into many separate files that, when
    concatenated back together in sorted order, reconstitute the original
    Misc/NEWS file. After that, Misc/NEWS could be deleted from the CPython
    repo and thereafter rendered on demand (e.g. when building a release).
    When checking in a change to CPython, the checkin process will write
    out a new file that sorts into the correct place, using a filename
    unlikely to have a merge conflict.
