So, I just realized that we have to update Changelogs for everything,
whitespaces and comments included. Even after reading meeting logs I
still wonder, why council have decided to vote policy change that was
not supported even by minority of developers? The whole idea after human
editable ChangeLogs was to avoid whitespace changes and changes in
comments. In the current state it is possible to generate them on rsync
servers and avoid this burden.

I would like council to update policy to allow exclude whitespace
changes and changes in comments.
