I'm familier with GNU-style ChangeLogs (I used one for example on GnomeHack).
But since this can be autogenerated (rcs2log > Changelog) it rarely got updated
and was not very useful for me.  Running 'cvs log' or visiting
http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ works just as well and is always up
to date.

Could you describe in more detail why you think this change is needed?  Is the
current Changelog lacking in some way?  The current Changelog is intended to be
descriptive of the user visible changes so that poeple don't need to check all
the cvs logs and diffs.  I think the current Changelog does this quite well.
