Yes, of course!  Note that I was only quoting a comment from Yosh
about reverting a commit that has no ChangeLog entry.  And I agree
with you.  I would probably not do it, because it would only lead
to frustrations.

So don't worry, I was not suggesting that seriously.  Of course,
everybody should try to get ChangeLog entries for every commit,
but nobody will be tortured if he/she forgets to do it.  ;-)  It
is not the first time that someone forgets to add a ChangeLog
entry, and it will probably not be the last time.  We can all
live with that.  I should have sprinkled my previous mail with
an appropriate amount of smileys (there was only one in that part).

You are right, this was not discussed yet.  Thanks for the
clarification.
