OK, let's shift this discussion in that direction again.

Given that there are active developers who appreciate and use the ChangeLog
format, I don't think we are going to remove them just yet. Instead, the
question has been raised as to whether we should go back to maintaining
ChangeLog files manually, or continue to generate them from version control as
we do now.

My vote is to continue generating from version control, and Eli would like to
go back to direct maintenance. What do others think?
