I took a look at the commits that are part of 2.6.5, and sadly I count a total of 18 of them that either are missing the corresponding entries or have incorrect release versions in CHANGES.txt. And I'm not even thinking about possible missing entries in earlier releases. :(
I think us committers need to pay greater attention to detail when we port fixes to 2.6.x and 2.7.x where CHANGES.txt are still used. The rate of missing entries in CHANGES.txt is too high. Due to this high number of missing entries, I am leaning towards cutting another RC where at least 2.6.5 entries all fixed. Let me know what you all think (whether this is something that should stop the RC).
