I don't consider it a pre-requisite either, was only trying to give an option to still tell people how to get a ChangeLog similar to current ones easily (as looks like they are used a lot per the past discussion :/) I remember something similar was done in the past when gnome stuff moved to git: https://wiki.gnome.org/Git/ChangeLog But I guess once we get habituated to simply review something equivalent to https://git.gnome.org/browse/ not many people will miss the old Changelogs ;)
