What is ChangeLog.byversion for, actually?

I though of it as a kind of NEWS file, ie non-trivial changes of
interest for end users.

To check if my bug was fixed, I'd point people to ChangeLog. Now maybe
you consider this bug is a non-trivial one of interest for end users,
in which case I'll document it.

If ChangeLog.byversion is just ChangeLog ordered a bit differently, I
would vote for adding commits with message "Released version 1.0.x" in
ChangeLog, scrap ChangeLog.byversion and avoid duplicating
information.
