As Ackerley pointed out, changelogs that are literally a list pretty much always
needs to be split.
These also need to explain *why*. "providing a unified VM file creation API"
isn't sufficient justification. In general, all of these changelogs need to
provide more of the "why"; I can figure out what the patches are doing easily
enough, but in my speed read of the series, it's hard to figure out the "why".
