I think unlimited edit time should be enabled, but there is no need for
a MOD. Creating a MOD to keep history of post edits is not really trivial,
and could be difficult to maintain in the future. If we really want this
feature, it would probably be better to have it implemented in upstream
phpbb before we use it.

But the main problem is not edit time, I don't really care about edit
time myself. The main problem is that there seems to be a majority of
people who think it should be enabled, that there is no good reason to
not do it, or at least try it for a few months (as was proposed several
times by different people), but it is still not done, because someone
decided it shouldn't be done. It could have been enabled in 2 minutes
8 months ago and we would have avoided those endless debates.
