Others have already pointed out this is just redundant but I will have a
more generic comment on the changelog. There is essentially no
information why the current state is bad/unhelpful and why the chnage is
needed. All you claim is that something is a certain way and then assert
that it should be done differently. That is not how changelogs should
look like.
