TL;DR: Let's replace profiles/**/ChangeLog with profiles/ChangeLog, because
it's a mess.I'm writing the new changelog generation code [1][2], and I'm wondering if we can clean up the mess that we have in profiles/. The existing Portage egencache --update-changelogs command does NOT generate any ChangeLogs for profiles/ (or eclasses, licenses, scripts, metadata, toplevel skel.*). There is no strict pattern to the past CVS ChangeLogs for profiles. Some directories have their own ChangeLogs covering everything in that scope, but occasionally there is also deeper ChangeLogs that mean the top-level changelog doesn't cover it anymore. Notable examples: profiles/default/bsd/fbsd/amd64/9.1/clang/ChangeLog-2015 profiles/default/bsd/ChangeLog-2015 (of all default/bsd/, why did only bsd/fbsd/amd64/9.1/clang warrant it's own changelog?) profiles/features/ChangeLog-2015 profiles/features/prefix/ChangeLog-2015 (why did features/prefix/ get it's own changelog?) profiles/releases/freebsd-8.2/ChangeLog-2015 profiles/releases/freebsd-9.1/ChangeLog-2015 (the rest of profiles/releases/, including other freebsd releases, is all in the root profiles/ChangeLog).
