See, same argument people give for $Log$. As I initially said, just
like the $Log$ comments are misguided, so are complete changelogs in
.spec files.

Useful comments that are akin to comments in a regular source files
are commonly included in .spec files. Those are fine, nobody argues
agaist them. Changelog entries are something else, and they just
don't belong there.

If they are needed, they should just be in a separate file, but I
suspect a link to a cvsweb/viewcvs for the CVS repository of the 
.spec file would be enough.
