Yes, something definitely was lost.  It was quite pleasant to see commit
messages go by; people cared enough that you'd see jokes and funny stuff
deliberately written for the commit messages.

Then it became a firehose as the project grew larger.  I do miss reading
commit logs and wouldn't mind doing it for a few sub-projects, but
definitely not for all of GNOME.
