How about "let's only store max. N lines of changelog in rpm metadata" (and just put the rest into the package in /usr/share/doc/packages/%name/old-rpm-changelog.txt)
just another offhanded "great idea": I think what might work in practice is to provide always all lines of the changelog as regular file /usr/share/doc/packages/%name/changelog and have in the RPM metadata only one line of text "See /usr/share/doc/packages/%name/changelog" My basic reasoning behind is to never cut the RPM changelog into pieces but keep it fully intact. Ideally 'rpm -q --changelog' would be enhanced to check if /usr/share/doc/packages/%name/changelog exists and if yes use that to display the changelog and if not fall back to display the changelog of the metadata.
