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...
