A comment on New Ghostscript PDF interpreter.

Most important part of the announcement - you can still revert back to the former interpreter by setting the `-dNEWPDF=false` flag.

While progress is always nice to see - I am also pleased that we don't necessarily need to update all the scripts that depend on ghostscript at once but can keep them running in their current state.

It's particularly fun for them to introduce this in a point release. If this didn't warrant a major version bump I'm frankly not sure what would.
