Right now someone (apparently me) needs to take the text from "utimensat() non-conformances and fixes [v4] (overview)" and weave it together with the text from "utimensat() non-conformances and fixes [v4] (patch)" to produce a vaguely coherent changelog. It all would be much saner and cleaner if each of these changes was in a self-contained diff which had its own standalone changelog, no?
