HN news is about possibility, inspiration and also practical/tactical insights. Writing about the past and the maintenance of the old systems isn't all that interesting. Thus most don't want to write or read about. We all agree there are many old and once very cool tech in the wild, but I for one use HN to be inspired and jazzed about what the community on edge is doing or wanting to do. :)
