Some things I've found are best to keep fairly stable for longer periods of time. Branching policy with git is one of these. I'm not sure of your experiences with managing development teams using git but from mine I've found setting a branching policy(this one actually) and making sure people stick to it is the best way to minimize confusion and keep people on track. Side note: I think the reason your previous comments were down voted wasn't your concern about the age of the article so much as your lack of a better alternative. If you could say "This was from Jan and this has been shown to be better" people would probably be posting stories about your new technique. To just say it is 10 months old though adds nothing to the conversation.
