For general documentation I hope now that it's slightly de-cluttered it's more likely folks (including myself, time allowing) will be more inclined to clean up / contribute. I haven't looked in detail, yet. As for the vendor docs - I guess that the obsolescence of the docs/ instructions goes hand in hand with obsolescence of the HW itself.
