I can see it, but I don't think a lot of people notice it. I'd like to see more mods make use of it when editing.
Set a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man afire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

A few chain-links and gears held together, operating out of habit. While others fell away.
The squeaking wheel stopped turning, and complacency grew in its silence.
The needle is almost on empty, but the machine keeps idling.
And the pieces keep falling away.

Two of the specific uses I imagined for this function:

1) Moderators may  leave notes as to why a message was modified, and leave their name as well.

2) Congresspersons can leave a note as to why they edited a proposal on last edit.
