Documents written using DocBook have the revision history starting
on the first page. If the revision history is to be part of the
document we risk having enormous preambles consisting of little
more than bumping revision dates. Revision history tends to be big
already, I would like it either trimmed more or moved to the end
of the document to make documents be less off-putting and appear
more hands-on.
Formal documents tend to have lots of pages at the beginning that
are of little if any real use. I hope we can avoid such document
diseases.
