I followed our normal obsoletion policy, where we have deleted things after 10 years. But I see your point. We could perhaps decide for how long we want to keep things, and then add a note to that effect to efaq.texi? That way, it'll be easier to maintain some consistency going forward. For example, how about adding a note to remove references to Emacs versions released more than 15 years ago (or something like that)? > I see no particular reason to remove those references to old versions > from the FAQ. Sure, I guess it's more a matter of when they're old enough to be a bit irrelevant. (Any feature was technically introduced in some version, but we don't always mention it.)
