Doesn't anybody ever add comments to files they alter themselves, or keep
notes about the changes they make?

If keeping notes, a simple search for "go514" would probably have resulted
in finding the notes made about adding that command.


Whether you keep notes or not, why would you not (when adding a line to an
Obey file) also add a line like:

| I added this in June 2009 because of problem such-and-such

(Note that the first character turns the whole line into a comment).
