I guess that the benefit is to use a single format for all NEWS entries. I understand that it will ease the build of the changelog.

It's to ease backporting since you will never have Misc/NEWS have a merge conflict ever again.

I didn't know that blurb supports "packing" NEWS entries into a single file, like Misc/NEWS.d/3.5.0a1.rst which contains 598 entries. Cool! My fear was to get 10,000 files in Misc/NEWS and starting to get performance issues with Git on some platforms.

Yeah, I already had that fear for you. :)

With the PR #2719 (convert Misc/NEWS to blurb for master), the Git repository contains 4,340 files. On my laptop, I didn't notice any major performance related to that.

That was a design goal. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/attachments/20170717/5ba3e923/attachment.html>
