Everytime you do this you make it that much more difficult for someone |
| 20 |
to track down why a dependency just broke, or why a version they needed |
| 21 |
went away. You make a changelog entry when you add a version...removing |
| 22 |
one is just as important. |

This is a policy on the tree that you are needlessly breaking. If you |
| 25 |
want the policy changed, then go do that. Otherwise, follow the |
| 26 |
policies that are there for a reason. Contrary to what you may think, |
| 27 |
you are not special and the rules apply to you as well. |
