While I agree it would be nice, the thing is that Nilbog already puts way too much time and effort into this place. As a dev myself, I know that even doing simple status updates would make his life noticeably harder.
And really, his intention is supposed to be there for everyone to see, in the upper-left hand corner of this page ("Classic EverQuest") ...
... which is why it's so maddening that (even without status updates) we can clearly see that he's ignored how unclassic Enchanters since before Green was ever announced.

No arguments here. That said, it seems more and more like the spirit of classic has become the goal, with the bones of the game remaining in place whererever possible. It does boil down to intent, whether the OG devs meant for x, y, z and thankfully some of those questions were asked and answered while McQuaid was alive, though it wouldn't hurt to get feedback from several team members who still remain, Geoffrey Zadkin, Bill Trost, and the like.
Though the enc class has enjoyed an OP state forever, there has been at least one non-classic nerf that benefitted the least popular class (pal) and hemmed in one of the most popular (enc), with soulfire charges being made paladin-only. That change doubled down on the risk vs reward gameplay enchanters offer and netted raid paladins DKP per soulfire. Not classic by definition, but a sensible nerf that would have happened in classic if players started to farm soulfires left, right, and center.
