Because then you get merge conflicts galore.

It makes a _lot_ of sense to automate the bugs section of the changelog. Worst 
case, it's not all that hard to write a program to grab the data and format it 
appropriately for changelog.dd, but it should be quite possible to put that 
query in the changelog html page itself. I think that it would be a mistake to 
try and enforce more process with regards to changelog.dd in order to get the 
bug entries in there, especially when it's not all that hard to automate.

It's just the WHATSNEW section that makes no sense to automate.
