[pacman-dev] Discussion about deprecating/removing the changelog feature from pacman.

I would like to bring up a point which has been annoying me for a while and I would like to get it out there. I will argue that the changelog feature is unnecessary in pacman/PKGBUILDs. 1.) It's a feature rarely used by anyone, e.g. there are changelogs which exist which haven't been updated in years which I encounter and remove right away. 2.)Svn log usually serves the same purpose, and I can not think of any benefits changelogs provide over svn log. 3.)I can not think of one package I have encountered that included a useful changelog. Some ways to go about removing it are: declare deprecated -> remove after some time or just remove changelog support right away The last option might be viable given its small audience.
