Yes, when discussing the matter with some friends of the list, this was
also one of our conclusions. We cannot stress enough the fact that you
should check the date of the last revision of an Open Source document, some
people will simply believe everything Google comes up with... We might as
well build this into our publishing system. I'd propose an outdated-time
of 6 months on the average.
