No. Most modules still have them; some modules don't anymore. 

Translators can reliably detect this situation by the existence or
non-existence of po/ChangeLog, help/ChangeLog etc.; if they don't exist,
don't add a changelog entry. Modifying _other_ files like
ChangeLog.pre-X-Y and ChangeLog.old is a bug in all cases.
