14 Let me see if I understand this correctly. Most devs and some users
15 wants things put in the changelog. I don't know if it was you before
16 but in the past someone didn't want to put when versions are removed.
17 That person, whoever it was, said they were not going to do it because
18 it was silly or whatever. This was taken to the council and it was
19 decided that all changes had to be put in the changelog. Now in this
20 thread, about the same thing from my understanding. You said "waste of
21 time" and the policy is not "sane".
22
23 So, council says it has to be done. You say you won't. Tell me where I
24 missed the point here.

26 Thanks for the reply but I think this is going to be headed back up the
27 food chain again. It appears that either rules mean nothing or they
28 have to be enforced on everyone. The rule makers need to decide this.
29 I suspect the reason this thread has gotten quiet is because it has
30 already been discussed off this list about what is coming next. Just me
31 reading tea leaves here.
32
33 My advice, follow the rules or get the rules changed. Don't break them
34 tho. It doesn't matter to me if you take that advice or not. Just saying.
