Removing the ChangeLog might be a good idea anyway, since it is not of
much use for users. However, I oppose to scrambling email addresses
everywhere. It doesn't solve the problem of spam and worm-mail (your
address is broadcast via the mailinglist to virus-infested platforms
anyway), and it makes our job as maintainers harder. If you have a lot
of spam, you should consider using automated filters (eg. spamassassin
or thunderbird junkmail controls.)
Please keep copies of earlier versions of the ChangeLog and NEWS files
in the source tar ball. At least the NEWS files between 1.4 and 2.4
are missing in Documentation/misc/ for the moment.
