I have just tested this by adding it to a random package that I
maintain, and it appears to work.

The changelog in the RPM I just built is trimmed to 1 year, even
though the spec file contains a much longer changelog.

One possible problem -- maybe it's not -- is that the generated
.src.rpm changelog also gets truncated, but the spec file inside is
intact.
