I do that. All the time. Sometimes going back a long, long time.
I could certainly work around the limitation if the binary RPM
changelogs were cut off, but it would require me to change, if anyone
cares.
Is there a cutoff date that would cover maybe 90% of your use cases? I
think that one year would be too short for my use cases as well. But there
are packages in the distro with changelogs going back to the RHL/fedora.us
days and I personally never go back even half that far. If we chose a date
two years or three years or even four years in the past, it might be a
reasonable compromise for everyone.
