Being all thumbs as far as typing is concerned I do edit my nodes from time to time to correct typing errors, or --more importantly-- to add an update paragraph if I think of something to add later, many times thanks to the useful input of other monks.

But to install a full edit-history just to see when & how I edited my typing errors ... It seems a bit over the top to me.

The same goes for the installation of a big brother style police force. Yes it is a pain to see the content of nodes disappear, but no it does not break the spirit of our community. The Monastery is far more resilient than that.
