Lets talk about changelogs (how I loathe 'bugfixes and performance improvements)
The problem is often the "bugfixes and performance improvements" are a list of 60 things, and for almost all users "there are less crashes and it is faster" is all they would want to know. How many users want to read (OK, possibly people here)"On some versions of glibc, the 32-bit specialisation of memcpy which used SSE2 instructions had a bug when the memory being copied crossed the 2GB boundary, so in that case we now use our own memcpy"Or "Changed some internal lists to be only be sorted when they need to be rather than eagerly sorted whenever elements are added, which speeds up start-up time".
