It's worthwhile to give this a couple of weeks IMO, because enforcing 
process changes can be hard to implement consistently and I'd rather not 
write ChangeLogs.  If there's no sign of agreement on the proposed 
script by mid-December, I'll make a proposal for workflow changes and 
scripting to make it happen.  They can be exceptions to the freeze too 
since they don't affect functionality.  That way we have more than a 
month and a half to hash it out.

But I am optimistic about the automatic ChangeLog generation...
