We DO ship/distribute Changes.html, see 
http://www-us.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/7.3.0/ in the changes folder
But inside the tarball there is only an index.html file linking to the online 
versions, e.g. http://lucene.apache.org/solr/7_3_0/changes/Changes.html  That 
was intentional.
CHANGES.txt is still inside the tarball though.
