6 Why not? If the reports are valid and can be fixed with the historical
7 meaning in tact (i.e. the bugreport would also be valid at the time the
8 article was originally written), we should do so.

10 If the article is outdated but not wrong, we can have the bugreport marked
11 as LATER.

13 If the article is outdated and wrong, we can have the bugreport marked as
14 LATER and hope that someone would write a new article that "includes" the
15 fixes in the before mentioned bug reports.
16
17 Even if no-one ever writes a follow-up on the article, we would still have
18 knowledge about the issues with the current article and, if needed, take
19 appropriate measures.
