+10.  The cheeseshop metadata is not where I would expect to look for a
changelog;  having it readable there is only helpful *before* I've
downloaded.

FWIW, I think that both README.txt and CHANGES.txt should be "package
data", so that they are discoverable after installing an egg.  The
top-level README.txt should be boilerplate, and point to those files
(the setup.py process can then stitch them all todgether).
