    <thetext>I&apos;m actually finding this location more more useful for non-source changes. When you only modify tests, rationale on top is usually most appropriate, while for source code changes, it&apos;s often just bug title and per-function comments.

Also, there is a lot of source code under Tools.</thetext>

&gt; &gt; I find that having the instructions on how to write a change log entry in the change log entry template is a nuisance.
&gt; 
&gt; Sounds like they should be removed unconditionally then.

I’d prefer that.</thetext>

    <thetext>As for rationale - contributors frequently forget to remove this line regardless of location, which is a waste of everyone&apos;s time.</thetext>
