I would like to add that I could imagine that it would be easier for authors to just change/add some documentation that matches the target release and not to have to think about "if version=something else ..." constructs. Also, sometimes it is good to be able to just throw away things that are out-of-date. > I would encourage those interested to ask about it on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I would be surprised if that hasn't already been discussed.
