I agree with Peter on this; I don't see much value in putting these
files into the distribution, and none at all in preserving them
indefinitely.
I'd suggest that the future procedure ought to be to pull a changelog
from CVS but put it beside the tarball on the FTP server, not inside
the tarball (and certainly not back into CVS --- that's redundant).
