Jun 6, 2011 at 3:48 comment added Scott Actually,regardless of other reasons the question may or may not be suitable,the fact that SE/SO sites have a wiki like component to the questions & answers means that the software is ideal for questions where the answer changes over time.The issue is that few answers are ever updated on any SE/SO sites,this is mostly a failure of the communities although I guess the software could be improved to help somehow-perhaps with the introduction of something like a "This question/answer requires review in X months", but I'm sure smarter folks than I have already thought of and discarded such an idea.

This issue applies to the many of the Stackoverflow questions, and isn't dealt with (well, in my opinion :). I've a fairly lengthy analysis of this issue on SO meta: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/71522
