silly little thing - maybe just a warm fuzzy feeling i get when i see software updates that have a Changes log or update notations and not just descriptions...:p

it just bothers me that i'm seeing updates without some type of "Changes" text

sure i realize that i'm using only "trusted" sources...
but i also realise there are still a few "ghosts in the machine"
yeah, i've heard and read the debates about virus' and exploits' within linux.

but i've also seen real-world examples that would surprise a few.

i also realize the maintainers of these repositories are kept quite busy.

i just wonder why there so many updates that have no "Changes" text at all
even if it's just to note the date, version and source?
a reason for the update would be nice too
