OK, I get it... especially for C++.

Well, maybe in the short term, but....

Not by much.  I'll go with your approach since it's more scalable... and

Now I don't like "changelog-id".  The current use of the ChangeLog Id for

Unless there are objections, I'll apply my updated patch after 2.3 is out.
