+I think unlimited edit time should be enabled, but there is no need for
+a MOD. Creating a MOD to keep history of post edits is not really trivial,
+and could be difficult to maintain in the future. If we really want this
+feature, it would probably be better to have it implemented in upstream
+phpbb before we use it.
+
+But the main problem is not edit time, I don't really care about edit
+time myself. The main problem is that there seems to be a majority of
+people who think it should be enabled, that there is no good reason to
+not do it, or at least try it for a few months (as was proposed several
+times by different people), but it is still not done, because someone
+decided it shouldn't be done. It could have been enabled in 2 minutes
+8 months ago and we would have avoided those endless debates.
