The rejected

What was tried and did not work — because the obvious improvement has usually already been attempted.

The deliverable

What it is

Every interface has a history of attempted improvements that made things worse and were reverted. Without a record, they are attempted again.

This list is short, cheap to maintain and saves a disproportionate amount of repeated work.

A change reverted on opinion leaves the question open. Say which reversions were measured.

What was chosen — recorded so a later change knows what it is changing.

What problem it solves, which the interface cannot show — the part that prevents the decision being undone.
