Sometimes I wonder how these RFA "requirements" originated? Who was the first to oppose for lack of edit summaries, who was the first to oppose for no work in project space? These were the ones that the rest of the "voters" joined in on.
It's interesting that sometimes someone tries to start an RFA "requirement" only to get jumped on by the rest of the "voters". Some of these are opposes for "wiki breaks" and "self noms".
I would look in early to mid 2005. IIRC, the idea was starting to catch on around the time of my RFA that people SHOULD use edit summaries. But it was still a while before it became something of a requirement.
