The point of such a guideline is not to declare Thou Shalt Not Change A Single Letter In Thy Uploads, Because That Is An Abomination In The Eye of Mobileread. The point is that now, it's possible for someone to make a very minor change, which the editor feels is almost the same as updating archaic spelling, and thus not worth mentioning, and then be suprised by harsh criticism from others who feel that this is a major change. So a guideline stating that "if you change words, please make a note of exactly which words you have changed" may prevent a lot of bad feelings in the future.
