Hello Guix!
I wonder what is the proper usage of square brackets in change logs.
According to
https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Change-Logs square
brackets are used for conditional changes, the name of the condition is
specified inside '[ ]'. However looking over the commit history I
mostly see another usage of '[ ]' for specifying the name of a record
field which content is being changed.
Is it fine to use the name of a record field inside square brackets for
changes that are only affected if the content of the record field is #t,
like in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70341#2 ?
Best Regards,
Nigko Yerden

It looks like we have created our own conventions that have diverged
from the GNU changelog format. That sounds okay to me.
