Description

Deleting an entire released section has no consequences with the current CHANGELOG check, i.e.:

 ## Unreleased
 
 hay sup

-## Release 2
-
-later suckers
-
 ## Release 1
 
 - i'm freeeee

It's unlikely to pass review, but it'd be nice to plug this gap.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the CI configuration for the CHANGELOG check, likely in `.github/workflows` or a script, and add a validation that prevents deletion of release sections.
