Please, no, it's an extremely bad idea!  This sort of thing just make life
(very) painful for later merging.

People edit past history in ChangeLogs _way_ too much already.  Given that
Emacs hackers are really not going to concern themselves very much about any
file called "*-xemacs*", I think there's little harm in saying "ah well" in
this case, and KEEPING THE CHANGELOG PREPEND-ONLY.

Please.
