This kind of digitization is great.
I don't know if they are doing it, but I always thought that it should be easy for regular citizens to see the historical reasons why a law or regulation exists. Because there is sometimes a good reason why a regulation exists, but nobody knows it.
Laws are usually passed with longer texts that explain why the law was passed. These are consulted by courts if there are issues in interpreting a law.
This is more important than readers may think as laws especially in civil law jurisdictions are meant to be applied based on intent, and not by the letter.
I don't know, something tells me that lawmaking-by-git is somehow less accessible to the 'regular citizen'.
