I think that most of the comments are obsolete. There might be some 
interest in what you call history. But we need to find a consensus
in order to improve the wiki for developers. I personally don't care 
about several years old comments about non-working hardware or software.
Especially if nobody answered the comments.
For me it is more important to have up-to-date contents so that actual 
problems and questions can be solved. To read outdated contents is
a waste of time in my opinion.
