We don't have a good answer to that, really.  Some of our docs are
up-to-the-second current, and others still talk about how to find out
which vacuum tube has gone bad in your system.  It's a trap for our
readers, unfortunately.  My plan has been to try to bring some more order
to Documentation/ first, hopefully cleaning things up a bit on the way.

magari ... talk of such enforcement is a recurring thing, but nobody has
the will to actually do that.
