My apologies, but I had to chime in.
My Linux experience goes back to 1991. H.J. Lu's boot/root floppy images and less than a few hundred of us on a Usenet group. Then SLS on about 10 floppies if I recall. It's been a long time.
With all due respect to the developers (and some of the "old timers" like me). At minimum, at least a change log needs to be maintained.
Please take it for what it's worth.
With respect,
G.
