I'm 100% with you on this.
One of the most important aspects of org is that it is all text and
existing and powerful revision control systems can be used with any org
file. Let's not go down the "everything including the kitchen sink"
approach as we'll do everything badly and nothing well (i.e. end up with
an MS Word look-a-like...).
Let's keep things simple.
Anyway, that's my opinion. Obviously, nobody is going to force me to
use org-annotate for tracking changes but my concern is feature creep
leading to a mess...
