And that's exactly what doesn't work. If the user already went back to
the previous version, there's no way for him to provide more information
anymore.

the difference between a company and an open source project is that in
the company, you get paid for your time and you still have time for
yourself when you get home. In open source projects, we don't get paid
at all and the time we spend here *is* our own time which is not that
much to begin with.
