There is no sentiment that I am aware of to remove NEWNEWS from the
"common practices" draft. All I have seen is a suggetion to add some text
indicating that many site have this command administratively disabled. This
is not a substantial change.

I think you are confusing the "common practices" draft with the RFC977bis
draft. I have no doubt that there will be issues that will keep the RFC977bis
draft from moving forward immediately after IETF 40. I'd like to be
proven wrong about this, but I don't think I will be.
