Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-3163:
-------------------------------------

bq. with no clear benefit to anyone.

I seriously disagree with this assertion.  I personally look for dates to help 
me understand the release history on a project.  There is a clear benefit to 
*me* as a user of software, and I don't think I'm alone.

bq. If we must have dates in CHANGES.txt, then I vote to remove CHANGES.txt 
completely rather than make releasing so difficult!!!!

Putting a date into a file is difficult?  After a release has been rolled out, 
not as a precondition for the release?  Sorry, Robert, I don't buy it.

> 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

> CHANGES.txt for past releases.
> Alternatively we could remove releases dates for past release completely.
