There are several cases that I'm aware of where legally-significant text was edited in legally-meaningful ways for varying lengths of time, ranging from hours to (in some cases) months. Without going into details, for example, one edit made us non-compliant with California law in a way that had opened up other large websites to large fines. Thankfully none of them have been used against us, that I know of, so perhaps locking them down would be a case of premature optimization.
