Moving away from ChangeLog's?

Hi,

In GDB land it was decided that master GDB (and the subdirectories under 
its umbrella) won't require ChangeLog entries for commits anymore, 
starting with GDB 12 (GDB 11 has branched). The commit message will 
contain enough information and git log/git blame will be used as a means 
to obtain more precise information on what has changed and what commit 
made the change.

Since binutils and GDB share some code, I'm wondering if it might be 
acceptable (and a good idea) for binutils to drop ChangeLog's as well.

That may simplify the process of pushing future commits that touch both 
GDB and binutils.

Thoughts?
