Are we to understand that this is official policy?
If so, at what point does/may one start putting the rev. history into
comment space?
Guidance, please.
(Personally, I'd put the whole lot into comments. But is this not
defeating the purpose of having the revision history in the first place?
_Why_ do we have the revision history in the document?
Is it necessary?
Isn't it better to get rid of it completely for the reader, who after all,
probably doesn't give a toss, and just wants to get stuck into factual
reading matter?)
What does the list think?
Can we have a decision on this?
