+1, i think this is a sane way to minimize perceived burden while
still getting useful information into update notification mechanisms.
Hell, unless there is some pretty stellar guidance for notification
texts that convinces us otherwise, I expect the general practice will
be to cut and paste of the changelog text...because its the easiest
way to satisfy a notification text requirement.  We already sort of
have a mechanism to help us cut and pass changlogs for cvs commit
messages.

If we make the last changelog entry the default update message, which
can be overwritten by a more expansive message on a case by case
basis, that would suit me just fine.
