I think you answer your own question. Most of Guile is pretty
much uncommented, or commented anonymously. This may not
be good, but at least nobody is mislead.
I am surprised by the number of dates. I didn't realize it
had been changed that much. I didn't notice the separate
changelog under the subdirectory until you pointed it out.
Probably it suffices to end the list of dates with ", etc."
and keep the Changelog complete.
