As long as it gets put into the final RPM in the build process somehow. `rpm
--changelog` is often very, very useful in the field.
Absolutely!
BTW SuSE has not had an RPM %changelog section for at least 4 years.
However they have a system where a hand-written <package>.changes file
is incorporated into the spec during the build, so their solution
isn't directly applicable.
