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. -- Peter.
