I think the above is a huge problem encountered when using the 
Drupal.org search functionality. And this is a problem that will only 
get worse over time. There is a lot of 'cruft' on drupal.org that only 
relates to unsupported releases, and has no application to current releases.

I wonder if it would be beneficial to make an 'archive' or 'obsolete' 
flag available to documentation team members, which can be applied to 
all content on Drupal.org, then have those nodes removed from search by 
default...
