[DBWG] proposal to auto-generate contents of the mandatory "changed" field in db objects.

[Nishal Goburdhan]

hi,

per the subject line, i think that this is something that afrinic’s db 
could auto-append.

this basically means that the field:
“changed:  <user at domain> <date>”

would no longer need to be filled out by the requestor, and afrinic 
would auto-populate this, based on :
# mail headers,
# datetime,
and other relevant bits that can be discussed further here.  i can’t 
see this breaking anything, but welcome additional discussion.

i’m also not aware of a formal way to request these sorts of changes, 
so, if there actually *is* one, other than suggestions posted here, 
please educate me.
