I don't have any objections but it does sound only a step away from versioning the kickstarts or changes. For me personally that would be first price. I would rather have "change comments" as part of the change then stored separately. Maybe long term we could have a versioning plug-in that facilitates storing versioned information of kickstarts/scripts(anything else relevant). You could still keep the version in the database as "authoritave" and show versions if available, that way if your underlying svn, git, whatever breaks it does not break spacewalk.
