I don't believe that anyone was necessarily suggesting that the changelogs be 
separate pages. I think that it was more like the changelog for a given release 
would be split up into sections for dmd, druntime, and Phobos - or perhaps just 
the compiler and the libraries - but it would all still be on the same page. It 
would just be sectioned differently.

Having separate changelog files would facilitate that, and it would make it 
easier for developers on each project to update the changelog for that project 
without needing commit access to d-programming-language.org. Obviously, the 
entries from each file would have to be merged into the d-programming-
language.org file before the release however.
