Once you quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson's "A foolish consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds" in this list, and (no offense intended) it
seems appropriate now.
Also, I agree with Miles: differences in spelling (in comments and
ChangeLog entries) add flavo[u]r. Much better that fixing "initialise"
in ChangeLog entries would be to fix bad grammar (there's a lot, and I
know it firsthand because I've perpetrated a few instances myself),
check for missing entries (there are a lot of these), duplicate
entries, non-monotonic times (days or weeks apart, not just arising
from time-zone differences), lots and lots of cases of using
"wildcards" to refer to several variables (which is against our
ChangeLog policies, AFAICS), etc. etc.
