Yeah, I tried that, and they've always been reverted without explanation. Best you can do is comment and hope someone reads it. I think that's more common today, since it doesn't take long to realize the comments are where the useful information is found.

There may be alternative solutions which would vote higher and comment relevance/quality would be impacted, etc. It starts to become unwieldy at a certain point. Better that solutions can be versioned and possibly linked together for findability.
