If we were to export PDFs of documentation at a certain version than I
would agree with this.
Currently my feeling is that we are deleting information and not all our
users are on LTS or recent versions.

I agree is important to have the most simple and clear documentation, yet
it's bad that we don't provide versioned documentation.

Also, even cleaning now, it's a task that is very big and the info will get
deprecated in a year. If the language we use is using present tense, users
will still be confused 1 year later and still would not know about what
version that documentation is talking about. Especially since there is no
way we could validate documentation on year release.

I don't have a clear solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Caty
