Won't argue with that, just point out that it's not entirely useless
as it at least names a person and a date for the change. FYI we have
the writeup stored in the database for each change on the history
entry - the current writeup is actually just the text from the latest
entry. So it would be possible to improve it.

I don't think the Datatracker is entirely consistent for the various
writeups in when it appends the text to the description that shows up
on the history page and in the RSS.
