When you're looking at locked-down, proprietary stuff, then old stories
can be relevant, since there's no way of knowing what has changed or
been fixed. When you're looking at stories about what's in Red Hat
or Debian or Ubuntu, then old stories are most likely not relevant,
since you can track what's changed or been fixed.
