Arguably a text file is the simplest and most reliable way to keep a

+1 to having a single ChangeLog though! Also, this can be done
independently from other improvements.
I'm largely ambivalent to this whole thing - I find ChangeLogs useful,
but they also annoy me greatly when they conflict.
So to play devils advocate to your suggestion, if we shifted from the
many ChangeLogs we have now to a single ChangeLog, we'd be
*increasing* the chance that your check-in will run in to a ChangeLog
conflict.
