If I remember correctly, there were some "Edit artist credit" edits to
change all "オムニバス<http://musicbrainz.org/artist/89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377>"
and other language-specific credits to "Various Artists" (since releases
almost never have "Various Artists" or any translation of it actually
printed). So, I guess they passed. It would make sense for edit artist
credit edits to show in the history for the entities they modify though, so
if they don't maybe you should enter a ticket for it...
