The problem with this is the first time there is a mass rebuild, or a
packager uses rpmdev-bumpspec, or we just have a naive packager who
doesn't understand what's happening, you'll end up with:
%changelog
* Fri Oct 21 2016 Some One <someone@xxxxxxxxxxx> - 2.3.1-59
- Mass rebuild.
%include %{SOURCE100}
which will cause all sorts of problems (changelog will likely be out
of order for a start).
I agree with the sentiment but I don't think this will work. It has
to be coordinated across the whole distro and tooling.
SUSE deleted all their RPM changelogs a very long time ago, we should
do the same.
