I would be in favour of no longer maintaining a changelog in the spec file

As long as it gets put into the final RPM in the build process somehow. `rpm
--changelog` is often very, very useful in the field.

It's great that CVS vulnerability numbers patched by each release are mentioned in the changelog. Tracking it is a common requirement in many environments, and rpm -q --changelog provides a very nice way to find out about it.

In fact, is that a policy or just something nice that people do? if the latter, could we consider adopting it officially?
