Well, things evolve and we've become much more careful about changelogs
over time. It still gets quite a lot of time to push back on changelogs
even these days though. People still keep forgetting that "what" is not
as important as "why" because the former is usually quite easy to
understand from reading the diff. The intention behind is usually what
gets forgotten after years. I guess people realize this much more after
few excavation git blame tours.
