I dont really mind the fixed ordering, I was concerned that
a) licence was inconviently located for changelog management.
b) that the lack of a 'release' block made maintaining a changelog more
work than previously.
c) that without using the packagermanager application, I would have to
maintain 2 package files.
If the packager creates a strictly ordered file when packaging (eg.
current 2.0 format along with generating a 1.0 format file for BC.)
based on the user defined less strict 2.1 format.. It would solve alot
of these issues...
