Updating to readline 7.0 (alpha) causes a lot of testsuite regressions on a number of (non-x86) platforms. It may be safer to first upgrade to readline 6.3 but in that case there are some local patches that have to be preserved. So it raises the question of how the ChangeLog should reflect that some local patches are preserved across the upgrade, while other local patches are dropped since they've been applied upstream. The idea is to make it easy to tell which local patches are currently applied against our upstream copy of readline especially across upgrades.
