Contrarian viewpoint: I'm very passionate about this idea for open source software, especially things like ruby gems or npm packages that I might use as a dependency, but for some reason I can't muster the indignation to care about this for apps. Maybe it's because I care primarily that the app works and the latest version is stable. I'm generally not going in and considering upgrades to apps strategically, and even if I did I have no ability to see the previous changelogs let alone install those versions. If for some reason I want to avoid an upgrade now I'm living on borrowed time and need to start thinking about a replacement or carefully curate my backups so as not to lose access. Sure in a perfect world it would be nice to have perfect changelogs, but it's so far down the list of things I want out my apps that I place zero value on it.
