Why does it have to be date based?
Why not having a count based cutoff?
Like last N entries.
Ask yourself what changelogs are serve for and you'll find
the answer.
It's questions such as:
- When did a change make it into a package?
- What are the changes since "<old> NVR"?
- Which changes are relevant to %changelog users?
...
That is, cutting at <N> would cut at points, which are likely cut off
off the information users are interested in.
