Broken promise 1 (Automatically generating CHANGELOGs) is spot on, especially in a monorepo with multiple released artifacts. A single commit could be a breaking change in one package and refactor in another. But the changelog tools see one commit and include it in both changelogs.

Another issue is that once the commit lands on trunk, you can’t revise the entry without editing history. You have to remember to fix it after the changelog is generated.

Changesets (https://github.com/changesets/changesets) is a much better approach. We adopted it in Endo (https://github.com/endojs/endo/tree/master/.changeset) and it’s been a clear improvement.
