It is just this: as a developer we all contribute to something so that our legacy remains in some form.. Agreed various other motivations exist ;)..
But personally, it feels good to see a tiny contribution being part of something else and being acknowledged for it.. do we as a community say: a) Lets kick all those oldies out.. They were yesteryear material, we can afford to forget them now. OR do we say b) Lets find who those guys are and ask them how they want to acknowledged here.. I mean, we all hate dirty code.. and I personally agree to Felipe's point that much of the old time revision history is eating bytespace and eyespace :(.. At the same time, I guess we still retain the old courtesy b/w one code hack to another :D..
