There used to be a count based trimming in rpm < 4.0. I guess the
rational behind a date based approach is that this way entries do not
disappear unexpectedly. As I understand it the feature is meant to be
used on a per package basis. This way you can just add new entries
without bothering about the change log trimming and from time to time
(e.g. once a year) adjust the date to something more appropriate.
