Notification on edits to voted post
When you vote on a post, and it later gets edited, should you get a notification?

Say you upvoted something because you liked it. But then it got edited and you don't like the new version. You might feel like you'd rather not upvote it anymore, but who has time for constantly checking every question they voted for?

Another case is when you downvote a question because of some problem. The OP then fixes the problem. Shouldn't you then take another look, so you can remove the downvote if your concern is addressed? (this assumes that downvotes are a mechanism of feedback and improving post quality, not a punitive measure)
