Of course. That's why it is most important to set the "last good" date 
and Cuis update number. The point is to make users of the package really 
aware of how out of date the package is!

Sure. But looking like updated, and being obsolete is the _worst_ 
possible scenario. We all would like to be able to work on our projects 
at will. But in reality, stuff gets obsolete over time. So let people 
know easily about that.
