<p>Um, changelog dates are a literal part of the spec just like, say, package version or a part of %build scriptlet is, and considered to be UTC so the values are not supposed to change arbitrarily between builds. The ability to override them arbitrarily makes things <em>less</em> reproducable.</p>
<p>If you're seeing different values entered into the changelog across different builds then maybe there's a bug or two, but in that case we should fix the bug(s) instead.</p>
<p>So in other words, I'm not convinced.</p>
