The problem is that Google has a long memory. Seaching historical
information becomes a greater problem if you mix the references
to products. Even in the present, you'd want to start excluding
references to dates prior to a given point in time, which is
a pain. IMHO, it is best to avoid any confusion. The Ada community
has enough challenges facing it.
