Well, I don't object to either ad hoc rotation to ChangeLog.18, or rearranging past ChangeLogs by date, independent of a move to automatically generated ChangeLogs. But the previous discussion is evidence of a lack of consensus. (Correction to my previous message about renaming ChangeLogs: the existing convention when stopping using ChangeLogs in a subdirectory would be to rename to e.g. libidn/ChangeLog.old, as done in nptl/ and nptl_db/, not to toplevel ChangeLog.libidn.) -- Joseph S.
