The primary reason why I'm okay with this is that Jim's recent patches to touch up typos in ChangeLog entries is now available (that is, 3 months ago, I would have vetoed this, but now I am okay with it). The secondary reason is that rolling over to a new year is a good time to rotate to a new ChangeLog file. I had been dragging my feet on coming up to speed with other projects on this regard, so thanks to you and Jim for stepping in. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
