The biggest issue within this problem are wikis with links. When maintaining a Wiki, with too many links, nobody will check the content of all links, so we tend to not remove the work of others, because a link might be useful. Usually we only remove dead links, but not bad links. IMO the best approach is, wenn editing a Wiki, to avoid adding links, whenever possible. Another issue is self-responsibility. If a good documentation e.g. mentions /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci_hcd/unbind to unbind USB devices that share an IRQ with an audio interface, it shouldn't be that hard, to find out that the location changed to /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci-pci/unbind A problem could be to notice this or similar issues. At least I don't check such things all the times when making music. However, it's wise to not upgrade during a production, so there's no need to check everything. IOW when making music, it's not wise to upgrade Ardour, Guitarix etc., let alone to upgrade the kernel or something security related. I even wouldn't risk an openssl heartbleed alike fix, something absolutely necessarily for a lot of tasks, but completely irrelevant for a DAW. Btw. I'm a jack2, but jackd and not jackdbus user. Never change a winning team!
