It makes sense. We can avoid having to redo the changelog if we decide 
some feature or fix is not good enough and needs to be omitted for a 
release.

We have all the relevant info in the meta data, commit history (and much 
more detail) until we produce a release.
This is will push the intended lines a la "[rla] Bugfix #12345 broken 
thing A when doing B." into the changelog file in one go.
