While on it, could we please make %changelog optional?

Packaging become an automatized task, and maintainers don't pay
attention to %changelog beauty so they simply generate it from git-log
(but I'd claim that git-log != %changelog).  Seems that
%changelog become one of the most painful maintainers' headache :)

What do you think about a static changelog like:

    %changelog
    * See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/<PKG>/commits/rawhide

Aren't we ready to admit (something like) this is enough?

Pavel
