I would like the council to follow up on the results of robbat2's |

The following two points should be discussed and possibly be voted on: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1. Should we continue providing ChangeLog files in the rsync |
| 12 |
distribution? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Some facts: As of today, ChangeLog* files take up 156 MiB out of a |
| 15 |
total size of 390 MiB in the rsync tree, or 40 %. The files propagated |
| 16 |
from CVS (i.e. ChangeLog-20*) account for 103 MiB, whereas the |
| 17 |
ChangeLog files generated from Git commit messages account for 53 MiB. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Even when ignoring the initial Git commit (whose message is duplicated |
| 20 |
in all ChangeLogs and accounts for 25 MiB), we still have a growth |
| 21 |
rate of 28 MiB in 239 days (2015-08-08 to 2016-04-03) which is 43 MiB |
| 22 |
per year. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2. If we continue providing Changelogs, then what should be their |
| 25 |
order of entries? |
