I personally think this is not needed for now. It can be updated just fine close to release.

Sorry, but this is silly. Might as well go with lorem ipsum.
Same goes with the "mostly backwards compatible" comment below. Making assumptions like this 
in a placeholder makes no sense.

Either leave the file as is until the 2.6 release is made, or clean the file and leave every 
section empty (or with a single TODO), allowing people to add lines at the same time as they 
are added to changelog if they want to.
