Why don't we try to reach a consensus? Maybe we should be allowed to simply run echangelog (or whatever is used) to generate a message like: 26 Oct 2011; Pacho Ramos <pa...@gentoo.org> -pangomm-2.26.3.ebuild And simply that Pros: - People refusing to add a message saying "Drop old" (or similar) could be happy with this, as no redundant information is required to be written in ChangeLog. - Users will still see that a package was removed, as it's indicated with "-" previous removed file. What do you think? From my point of view, if we don't try to reach a consensus, we will expend time on things to enforce a policy that we could probably expend on other tasks and, then, maybe all of us should try to stop being so strict and try to give in a bit (not sure if it's the way in English to say "ceder" :S)
