The above is not a problem for me, indeed it's actually good as it makes
it *much* quicker and simpler for me to read the changes and figure out
if they all make sense and do what was intended.  The less the changelog
says about what the change is supposed to do and the more different
things the change does the more effort is required to work out if it's
sensible and the more chance there is of one of the changes blocking the
other ones.
