Completely agree. I moved the edits out of 2008/001 and added them to 2009/001, then reverted 2008/001 to its original state. I think our policy should be that once adopted, the only change we will make to a wiki page containing a resolution is to add the fact it has been superceded and a link to the now-current rule. S.
