I agree it would be nice if before a witness node update was required came out witness posts about why they choose to upgrade or not. Then all those who posted their thoughts where collected and put out in a single blog like @timcliff Reports from the witnesses expect only focused on the update and not other things.
That way the community would have an easy way to view all at once all the witness and see which of them are actively doing their best to stay on top of changes and sharing their opinions on the matter.
With that said that is kind of how it is and might just be creating over reduces.
