It's pretty common with configuration or infrastructure as code that a blame brings me to a commit from 5-6 years previous, where I wish to understand why the authors at the time made a specific decision.

That is more than enough time to change ticketing system, wiki platforms, or collaborative chat services.

Fair enough, I did not think about the IaC space when I wrote the comment. And I can absolutely see how a blame could take you to commits from a few years back.

I was only thinking about the application code space where elaborate code comments are definitely more common.
