Will shenanigans ensue if Manifold switches from append-only descriptions to edit history available?

Trusting everyone's good faith is working so well that it would be nice to let market creators edit their descriptions. We'd want to make edit history public like Facebook does. I predict this will be much nicer and have no downside any time soon. This market is to see if I'm right. It's ultimately an "if we do this, will we regret it?" question and I'll do my best to resolve it in that spirit. If no actual shenanigans ensue but people hate the friction of having to click through to double-check the edit history, that counts as counterfactual shenanigans which would still resolve this as YES. So the lower the market probability, the better an idea this is! EDIT: Maybe obvious but this resolves to N/A if we don't get editable descriptions. EDIT: And if shenanigans technically ensue but it's just, like, token shenanigans, that wouldn't count. Like if someone intentionally misleads people by changing the description after the fact to try to prove the point that it's a bad idea but no one really expects that to be an ongoing problem, or if a couple trolls do this but people knew not to bet in those people's markets anyway, this would resolve as NO.
