I know a lot of the comments are critical, but I find the feedback helpful, and I've already made some improvements to the article based on the comments here. In some cases, I think there's pure disagreement, where some commenters feel that anything other than a dev-oriented changelog is "selling out" to marketing. Some of the feedback is misunderstanding what I'm advocating (e.g., some readers perceived the post as advocating release announcements instead of changelogs). But in the end, my audience for this post is developers, so it's helpful to hear candid reactions from developers, even though I know HN commenters aren't perfectly representative of developers in general.
