It also seems time (again, as Kim said earlier) for a fresh lisp/ChangeLog and a new lisp/ChangeLog.12. The right thing to do here is create ChangeLog.12 as a new file with no arch tag, and move most of the current contents of ChangeLog there, right? That way, when you sync things from lisp/ChangeLog on the release branch, they will go into lisp/ChangeLog rather than ChangeLog.12. What do people think the best split date is? The base of the release branch, or perhaps 2006-12-31, to match ChangeLog.11? BTW I'm not saying any of this needs to be done in a rush.
