Why is auditing disabled on most of the Asset fields?

We've been stung in the past by changes to asset data being changed, and the change wasn't audited or added to the record's history.

By default, it looks like 61 of the 92 or so fields in the Asset Register (alm_*) tables have auditing disabled on them. At first I thought that maybe it was because many of the fields are shared with the CMDB CI tables which are audited, however what about assets which don't have a CI? There's also some non-audited fields that aren't shared with the CI tables, such as Acquisition Method.

I'd like to go through and enable auditing for those fields, but I thought I'd as first.

Does anyone know if there's a reason that auditing is disabled for most of the asset register fields?
