what the....no!! changelogs have to be verbose, i'm still often missing hints in the current changelogs, commenting that patch_a and update_b got in because of a security issue. some boxes need only be updated for the sake of security, so one would be happy only watching for <security patch> lines in the kernel changlogs. giving credits to the people who found the problem is still possible by mentioning the (source of the)original advisory.
