I have always wanted to drop the ChangeLogs, so if the other developers agree,
I'm all for it. Keeping ChangeLog style in the commit entry is not terribly
useful either, since the diff output of log -p lets you know which function or
variable is being modified. I've never missed not having that ChangeLog data
in other projects, of any size. But that's up to the other developers and what
makes their lives easier.
