As discussed in #1048, appendix is a bit of a misnomer as a place to put design discussions, and there's a clear need based on internal conversations for consumers of AIPs to understand why a change was made.

Adding two sections which can provide parts of the story:

  • rationale introduces a section to explain current design decisions.
  • history introduces a section to give historical context as needed (e.g. if a major change happens to an AIP).

@jskeet who I saw had some vehement nods in the meeting today, so likely opinionated enough to review this :) (if you have time)

Note to self: show no emotion, do not react 😛

- more clarity around history vs changelog
- fixing some wording.
- consistent line length on all changes.
