Sounds like you were referring to the comments Zem made about Ian's 
comments, not mine.  Though, you are right, if we went with the second 
option from my email in combination with subdir changelog files so that 
Zack could edit just one changelog file, it would result in changes to 
one file being spread across two changelogs.  I don't propose that, 
Zack would have to argue for that, if he wanted it.

I'm just arguing for the status quo, it is more scalable.
