What don’t you like about prefixed commits?
It generally makes them easier to categorise for things like change logs.

Changelogs are completely useless and accomplish nothing.
If you organize your commits decently the commits are your changelog.
A useful changelog is short, to the point and not just an arbitrary categorization of git log.
Those prefixes are used in Nostream to decide whether the next release is a major, minor or patch release.
Most commit messages in the wild are super vague thus worthless anyways and are of the form:
updated X
fixed Y
If you try to limit your commit summary to 72 characters, this convention wastes some real estate for little gains.
