Well, for now the solution is to enforce following policy. |

|
11 |
For the future, perhaps the policy's time has ended. Sure, Changelogs |
12 |
can be handy, but they are increasingly redundant and scm comments |
13 |
have the potential to be far more useful. By all means require |
14 |
meaningful scm commit comments, but if Changelog files are holding us |
15 |
back either auto-generate them or ditch them. |

And, to add my own to cents to this chain about the only thing worse |
18 |
than failing to directly inherit an eclass dependency is to break the |
19 |
tree fixing the problem on personal initiative. When a dev messes up |
20 |
the solution is to talk to them or if necessary talk to devrel/QA - |
21 |
not to break end-user systems. |
