Then we end up having N versions of the Vala tutorial and all code examples, for Vala versions 0.14, 0.12, 0.10, 0.8, ..., not just for the most recent stable release, multiplied with all the different versions for each library. I can't imagine anyone who would like to maintain this. It's a wiki. Old versions are saved in the history. And old samples can still be found on http://code.valaide.org/. In my point of view documentation by example is not just unspiritual accumulation of code chunks without keeping them in shape. Less can be more. At least we should have a policy regarding when example code is considered old and unmaintained enough to be removed. Or a sub-page named "Deprecated stuff" where all deprecated code samples go in, so that I wouldn't feel the urge to look after it.
