I honestly didn't understand the objection. Hans-Peter, let me know
if you want to try again to explain it.
Nope. If you feel strongly enough to rename and fiddle with the
old files, go ahead. I still feel the change is unnecessary
(and as such should only apply to new splits) but I don't feel
strongly about it.
I think this would be excellent. Many times I have had to go and do
some gcc archeology to find some patch to backport to some old version
of the compiler. The disconnect between changelog file names and dates
is just one more thing that makes it an annoying process.
