    I used to read the hand written changelogs, they only used to be a half
    page or so; neatly summerising stuff into one line; I can't be bothered
    with the full changelogs - they are obviously useful; but the hand
    written half pages are still a lot easier at a quick glance to see if
    there is anything that affects you.

    Perhaps insisting that each check in message includes a single line (sub
    60 chars) description; could turn those into description : name and
    remove dupes?
