Yeah.  The reason why a specific version is mentioned is exactly that
the details tend to change.  I don't know if anyone else has touched
that text, but when I've done so it's been exactly the sort of effort
you mention: run through all the examples in that file and make them
match current reality.  I don't think just taking out the version
number is a good idea.
