My question was explicitly asking about profiles/, but I'll respond to the other pieces in turn.

Already done.

Presently implemented, but considering turning it off, because it's mostly
duplicated entries (tree-wide changes to $CAT/metadata.xml).
The rate-of-change on category dirs is very slow, and they are tiny:
92562 bytes over 163 files (mean is 567 bytes). See below for more size on what
happens if they get collapsed to the top-level.

Already done, just querying if profiles/ needs more ChangeLog detail.

Other than the per-category changelogs, here's the size
Here's the size of the non-category non-package changelogs, with splitting to
all top-levels.
127 scripts/ChangeLog-2016
1266 metadata/ChangeLog-2016
1929 ChangeLog-2016
11987 licenses/ChangeLog-2016
198021 eclass/ChangeLog-2016
362733 profiles/ChangeLog-2016
If we collapse to have:
- per-package
- major top-levels: eclass/, profile/, licenses/
- (everything else)
Then we get:
11972 licenses/ChangeLog-2016
12941 ChangeLog-2016
196905 eclass/ChangeLog-2016
362040 profiles/ChangeLog-2016
