It's never too late. Even echangelog works in the eclass directory, |
| 8 |
once you generate an initial ChangeLog file there. |

I'd rather truncate the file and keep only the last one or two years |
| 17 |
of history. |

Also some subdirectories of profiles have their own ChangeLog, and |
| 20 |
others don't. Looks pretty much random, e.g. why is there a ChangeLog |
| 21 |
in profiles/default/bsd but not in profiles/default/linux? Probably |
| 22 |
that's for historical reasons too, and we should rethink it. |
