No. My point was to express the confusion of new contributors lacking this
tribal knowledge when constructing a patch according to the exacting guidelines.
Preserving twentieth-century software practices has the nice side effect of
keeping out the "rabble" of youth, and the changelog requirement proves a natural
limiter to the number of changes an unvetted contributor might make.
