I suppose that you could make the argument that including the changelog at all
isn't really needed if you have it properly stored in scm. i.e if we used git
the way the rhel trees are handled, and auto-generate patches based on commits,
all we would really need to do is mark the base tree that we started from and
the final tag that we're building, and you could extract the changelog at your
leisure
