IMO, we may have to revert this Yao> patch, what do you think? I would prefer us to have fewer ChangeLogs, not more. Fixing up the ChangeLogs before submission and then again before commit is a real chore. It is somewhat less of a chore when there are fewer entries. Also, many patches span directories, and I think it is easier to see that when the entries are all in a single ChangeLog. Conversely, I don't think there is any benefit to having different ChangeLogs in a single "maintenance domain". Tom
