Normally, I wouldn't send private responses to the list, but since this
is something everyone can use (and nothing "private") I am making an
exception.

That would be correct.  The rightmost ChangeLog should be used.

What I am hoping we end up with is:

profiles/default-linux/$arch/ChangeLog: This is for the arch
team/releng/anyone else who make changes in an architecture's profile.
This would be for adding, for example, things to use.mask or
package.mask on the no-multilib profile(s).
profiles/default-linux/ChangeLog: This is for stuff affecting Linux
only.
profiles/base/ChangeLog: This is for anything affecting everyone.
profiles/ChangeLog: This is for new USE/package.mask and such.

Of course, other ChangeLog entries could be added to different
locations, but this is my trying to keep the number of ChangeLog
locations as small as possible.  I'm definitely open to any other
suggestions or ideas.  I just think this is probably the easiest for the
time being.
