I agree an entry should have been added in the 9.5 news file. However,
I'm not sure it is a good idea to add one now given that 9.5 has been
released.
The problem with adding one now is that it means 9.5 will have 2
different news files. This could cause confusion as some people will
have a news file which includes the details and some will not. If people
are willing to accept that possible bit of confusion, I would add the
entry, otherwise, leave it and add it to the 9.6 news file (so that at
least the change was documented/tracked, albeit after the fact.
