              years old once a year for packages that I own.  Two years
              is twice the

              length of a Fedora EOL cycle and since it grows to three
              years during the

              interim, that seems a reasonable distance in the past for
              people trying to

              get a quick glimpse of when something might have changed.
            

            Would it be difficult to have some part of the
              build process check to see if there's dates older than 2-3
              years and report it somewhere? Preferably somewhere where
              it will get noticed, but not be obtrusive.
          
        
    Not sure if the age of entry is the only metrics which should be
    used. What if there was no change in last 3 years? Then we will have
    just one changelog entry? Just thinking loud ...
