Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3163:
-------------------------------------
Steven, well you can look through the CHANGES.txt before my commit and see that
in Lucene, many releases have no date (like most of the 1.x series).
Additionally Solr stopped doing this about 1.4 (instead just saying "see the
website for the date").
I really don't like the dates, I'm sorry. The only thing the dates do is create
another thing to update, with no clear benefit to anyone.
Our goal here is to create open source releases... not maintain a historical
record... these dates make releasing harder.
If we must have dates in CHANGES.txt, then I vote to remove CHANGES.txt
completely rather than make releasing so difficult!!!!
> CHANGES.txt has no release date for 3.1.0

> CHANGES.txt has no release date for 3.1.0 - although we've stopped putting
> dates on RCs' CHANGES.txt for the release-to-be, we should add dates to
> CHANGES.txt for past releases.
> Alternatively we could remove releases dates for past release completely.
