News(1) seems to be a good solution. What is needed, is a newsfs,
that registers internally, when a entry was entered, so you are
able to cp(1) one newfs to another and touch(1) is not able to
bring up old news.

 % 9fs sources;
 % news /n/sources/news/9fans;
 Someone wrote:
	My Plan 9 is better.
 Someone else wrote:
	Mine is even more better.
 % news /n/sources/news/patch;
 Patch add-mozilla:
	Added Mozilla to the default distribution.
 Patch add-mono:
	Added Mono to the default distribution.

So you can simply add it to your profile, if you want. This is a idea
and not yet implemented.

Sincerely,

Christoph
