@RichFelker tbh, "what" is ok for changelog entries. "why" would be too long. But I'd take a link to "why" in the changelog, if applicable.

@laurentbercot Ask anyone which is actually readable and useful: gcc's changelog or musl's git log. -
@RichFelker I believe that's because@musllibc is a cleaner, more readable project to begin with. -
@RichFelker You choose to put explanations in the git log. Fine, but they could also be on the Web, ML archives, comments in the source... -
@laurentbercot Having a "why" linked to each change is essential. Where the "why" is stored is less important. -
@laurentbercot ESR has actually 'volunteered' to reconstruct this history for GCC; see this thread: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2015-09/threads.html#00036 … -
@RichFelker I'm considerably uninterested in how GNU people waste time politicking around their bloat storage formats.
