I'm a user, and despite the fact that I tend to run ~arch or even pre-tree
testing overlays, I find ebuild removal information in the changelog WAY
more useful than, say, when some obscure arch keyworded a version.
Ergo, the argument that users don't find that info useful is disproven.
Users DO find it useful. I /as/ a user find it useful and get rather
annoyed when I'm trying to trace a change and there's no entry at all for
it in the changelog!
So, please /do/ make ebuild removal entries in the changelog, as users
/do/ find them useful. =:^)
