This is inviting a flame war on whether users read Change Logs and
whether a Change Log needs to be useful to them. ;)

I concur with Paolo that TCG support for Bamboo is worth mentioning
(user-visible feature) and so would a new, real PReP machine if we
manage in time. The conversions could be summarized under a QOM heading.
But since neither has been applied to master yet, we should wait with
the Change Log update. But thanks for the reminder, good idea!
