Well, most of the ones I've seen are related to kernel APIs or idioms
which are not meaningful to other projects so I don't know if that's
true or not. I don't have a full solution here but I'm just trying to
find a middle ground because I tend to agree with both of you. Yes,
it's damn ugly to have the scripts embedded in the changelog but on
the other hand I _really_ want to see "what the hell found the bug"
too.
