I don't understand.  I just checked the changelog and there are no such
entries.  There aren't any in the Acknowledgments section either.
There are two handles in the Credits section that could be removed:
Arhaic and J_Man.  I really don't have a preference if those are removed
or not.

If you are just establishing new policy, then I can agree with this policy.

If you are referring to the latest comment by Ag in the Changelog, then
I can agree with your policy there too.  We might just want to place a
link to the ticket in the changelog.
