I don't think people realize this, but while from DNF the updateinfo
and changelog data are separate, when Bodhi generates update notices
that are sent as emails and used in feeds, both pieces of information
are presented together.

So ideally, there should be different information in updateinfo and
changelog. The former is user-centric and the latter is packager
centric.
