... that leaves it open to being spammed & defeats the purpose of
having a change history.


Granted mediawiki tables are a complete PITA compared to a real
spreadsheet, but for my 2c that is outweighed by the benefit of keeping
everything under one roof (single login) and not depending on a 3rd
party sole-supplier (whoever they might be).

A table is not the same thing as a spreadsheet though, and in the rare
occasion that a real spreadsheet is needed, sparing use of google docs
is not a bad solution for that.


wrt disk space usage, fwiw we already have a column for it in the package
listing google spreadsheet, we just have to fill it in with better data.
