Why there's no changelog entry whatsoever for the above major changes?

Nice. Bug 148187, Bug 148199, Bug 148207, Bug 148297, Bug 148313... 

Why is it so damn hard to stick a note into the changelogs so that people who don't read -dev ML (most of users, significant number of developers) could find out what's going on without pondering in CVS? And why does such stuff go straight into stable tree without any revbump?

Closing WONTFIX, FIXED isn't a proper resolution since there's been nothing fixed.
