So, what I hear you saying is that - regardless of whether users want it or not - it's not worth *your* time to fill in the blanks on a short message saying: package-1.2.3-4.fc7 is a (bugfix,enhancement,security) update which (adds the following features, fixes the following bugs): ... We could even auto-fill the message from the changelog entries. Or.. maybe you also have better things to work on than adding changelog entries to your RPMS? How about comments? Maybe I think I have better things to do than to comment my code. Documentation, too. Look, here's the bottom line: people want to know what's changed when you update packages on their systems.
