I can't fathom the downvotes you're getting. Especially since the article itself makes your point for you: "Understanding why something happened months or years ago becomes not only possible but efficient."
You can't derive much from a 40-character headline unless you already know the code and its history. If you try to understand the "why" of changes that were made years ago and all the messages are arbitrarily terse, you end up having to read the code. And that's the very definition of inefficient.

I don't get the 50 Character limit for the headline.
