Here's to bring up a really old thread.

We've run it for a while now. Are we ready to drop the changelog and
use trac reports instead? Or are we ready to drop the changelog and

(Hint: I hate the changelog file because I keep forgetting to update
it, and it sucks to handle it in the main repo due to how it
integrates with branches)
