For the Non-CA parts it should be clear that for legal reasons there has to be
another author mentioned. That's why it is handled there in this way.
For normal parts it is much more difficult.
From what point on it is made from the scratch? - Only the author knows.-
Please imagine that a part where you have spend hours on and you are proud to be
mentioned at the author (because it has been really difficult to make) is
overwritten with the content of a file from another author and you are no more
mentioned! That I feel would be annoying or better "de-motivation" as you will
never know how long will your name be mentioned.
