I only caught one fix on 3-1-stable and not on master. I wouldn't have thought to look if the changelogs weren't so obviously divergent. Seeing things in 3-1-stable changelog and not master implies that those changes weren't made to master.

Merging 3-1-stable changelog to master on release propagates that same (dangerous) assumption, that those changes were actually applied.

Let's just keep the changelog in sync and accurate at all times. Much clearer. Or, git rm CHANGELOG and use a NEWS instead!
