What I found most amusing in this quote is that in many of the countries the
primary language isn't English, and hence lack of English writing skills
isn't necessarily a flaw in the educational systems in question.

But all this has somewhat obscured my suggestion of automatically generating
a change log from the CVS commit notes. I know I'd find it quite useful,
perhaps more useful than a manually updated change log. Boost commit
messages tend to be relatively high quality.
