Why is CHANGES.txt in src/?

Hi,

is there a reason why ZODB's "CHANGES.txt" lives in ZODB/src/ instead of
ZODB/ as in other packages?

I keep tripping over this and wonder whether it's accidental or intentional.

Yes, because the ZODB project has multiple Python packages.  The
entries in CHANGES.txt don't only pertain to the ZODB package.  It
would be silly to maintain separate CHANGES.txt file for each package.

Right. Other projects still keep the CHANGES.txt in the very top level
folder where the egg is defined, not in the Python package itself.
