We could also, if so desired, install the split-out changelog as a %doc

--changelog' output or look in the srpm/cvs/etc to see what's changed.
This would just confuse user and is inconsistent with the rest of the distro...

How so?

I presume the rpm command would still work

Correct.

so I would see no harm
in adding the changelog as a %doc (if/when it is broken-out from the
spec file).

Just to be clear... To make sure its 100% clear which kernel the changelog matches up with, it'd have to be %doc'd for each kernel and kernel-flavour, so it winds up in /usr/share/doc/kernel%{?flavour:-%{flavour}}-%{version}. If its part of kernel-doc, I think its not always obvious which actual kernel package it matches.

With those clarifications, I don't see how it'd be confusing, or how it would cause any meaningful consistency problems with other distros. But please do enlighten me if I'm missing something. :)
