Changelog I might buy into, but Release? There are too many complicated
cases (Pre/Post immediately spring to mind) to automatically do this.
Also, we'd be forcing a hardcoded dist tag here.
We should optimize for the common case - not the edge-case. I'd welcome
this automated release / changelog management. If a handful of packages
need to opt-out that's still a huge win for the common case.
