But we can well decide to drop ChangeLog for the testsuite. Well, glibc has moved to extracting them from git, building policies and scripts around that. I'm pretty sure other significant projecs are also extracting their ChangeLogs from git.
We could do the same, selecting some magic date as the cutover point after which future ChangeLogs are extracted from GIT. In fact, that's precisely what I'd like to see us do. jeff
