@albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz I understand the idea, but I think research articles are different from social media and Wikipedia and that there is some value in them becoming frozen when they are published. I definitely don't want to be prodded to go back and edit something I wrote 5 or 10 years ago, and I see a serious trap here for the kinds of people who have trouble letting things be. I have known several people who would I can imagine would have gotten stuck constantly editing an already published article if that had been possible. I would be fine the with the possibility of releasing a new version if a serious error comes to light. But allowing minor revisions at any time after publication? I don't see any need for that, and I see a lot of possible downside.
