Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1898:
---------------------------------------

+1 That would be really nice. We always have this duplicate numbers, cascading 
renumbering and so on. I think, numbering of items is part of the presentation 
layer (like in XHTML where you have numbered lists)

> Decide if we should remove lines numbers from latest Changes

> As Lucene dev has grown, a new issue has arisen - many times, new changes 
> invalidate old changes. A proper changes file should just list the changes 
> from the last version, not document the dev life of the issues. Keeping 
> changes in proper order now requires a lot of renumbering sometimes. The 
> numbers have no real meaning and could be added to more rich versions (such 
> as the html version) automatically if desired.
> I think an * makes a good replacement myself. The issues already have ids 
> that are stable, rather than the current, decorational numbers which are 
> subject to change over a dev cycle.
> I think we should replace the numbers with an asterix for the 2.9 section and 
> going forward (ie 4. becomes *).
> If we don't get consensus very quickly, this issue won't block.
