"Say what not why" - the GCC ChangeLog policy REQUIRES worse-than-useless entries. https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/643461271887740928 … https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ChangeLog
@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.
