100% - documentation will always go stale. the source of truth is the code however, and making sure the code is kept shiny is the primary task of engineering. documentation is non-load-baring - you can tear it all down and the project will still work correctly. Legacy tooling can literally cause breakages and security concerns.
- Arrath 4y ago> Legacy tooling can literally cause breakages and security concerns. Absolutely. My domain is a little different, but I've taken to keeping the installers of every version of a specific CAD program I've used, due to compatibility breaking updates that it has had, in the event that I might need to go back and open a design from a few years ago.
