As you know from our own discussion on edits, edit summaries aren't the ideal way to lay out reasoning for a change. The character limit alone is a big impediment. Then there's the atmosphere ... leaving reasoning in the edit summaries would mean that the edits are continuing to go back and forth, thus the parties involved aren't thinking as clearly as they would if they distanced themselves from the page :). Again, think about how many times our own disputes were settled once we talked it out on a thread.
