9 Again for 'emerge --changelog':

11 As we do have the "$delay before breaking old" period, usually with $delay="1 year":
12 Should we also apply this $delay to the output of above command?

14 If yes, what I can think of ATM is:
15 * Do that first splitting in January 2012 (in less than 2 months).
16 * Have PM search in the old ChangeLogs if necessary.

18 The latter would also allow for completely emptying current ChangeLog each January
19 by moving that to ChangeLog-$lastyear.
