So you leave your online documentation using the syntax of a release that is 6 years old? That seems fairly odd. Why not use versioned documentation?

Just as an example, OpenLDAP has:

<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/>
<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin23/>
<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin22/>
<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin21/>
<http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin20/>

This way people who want the official documentation for OpenLDAP 2.0 through 2.4 can get at those, even if they are no longer maintained.

Same for the online manual pages, where you can pull them down for everything from OpenLDAP 1.0 onwards.

In this way, people are able to get the information that is most relevant to their setup, and not get hit with examples that are half a decade out of date.
