I think etc/RELEASES or etc/RELEASE-HISTORY are better names than
etc/HISTORY if the content of the file only contains release version
numbers/dates. IMO a file named HISTORY should be something like
these:
*
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/History.html#History
*
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/History.html#History
