I question how useful it is. The obsoletes/obsoletedBy relationship is

Yoav,
Thanks for the thoughtful (and quick) response. Yes, the total model
and application of its details are more complicated. But I found myself
relying on a very simple distinction:
If someone wants to do research and explore old stuff, they can still do
that. The can still merrily wander the link sequences.
However "Obsoleted By" means "don't use the old stuff".
So if one merely wants to get (or wants to cite) the most recent version
of what they /should/ use, then the feature I'm suggesting will support
that. More easily and reliably than can happen now.
