The point of these changelogs was to show the changes between beta and rc
versions, because those were not necessarily recorded in the HISTORY file.
However, putting these in the tarball is questionable (if you already
downloaded the tarball then you might as well proceed with installing it),
still having them there now is even more questionable (who cares?), and
making them for minor releases is redundant and confusing.  I vote for
removing them.

First prize for Consistency in Naming, btw.
