I have found the direct links to old/unsupported versions of the
current page to come in handy several times, e.g. when I'm interested
in how a system catalog has changed over time I can quickly open all
the different versions in separate browser tabs to catch any
differences. I could see reorganizing the current "Unsupported
versions" section into Future Version(s) and Unsupported/Obsolete
Versions, though.
