It seems that I'm going to have a hard time convincing people to put the
notes into the DocBook sources right away, so in order to get this
jump-started, I'll go with the text file.

New changes go at the top.  I guess we'll want to keep the one-liner,
barely-a-sentence format for now.

Not sure if we want to ship this file, but we can think about that later
when we see how it develops.

As for name, maybe CHANGES.  You could think of it this way:  Some changes
may cancel each other out along the way and may not go down into
"history".
