The "problem" I have about changelog is its duplications.

[fmatias at one i386]$ rpm -q --changelog xorg-x11 | wc
   5369   35773  250956   <= big changelog
[fmatias at one i386]$ rpm -q -a | grep xorg-x11 | xargs rpm -q --changelog
| wc
  75166  500822 3513384   <= very very big changelog (several times the same changelog).
