I see at least one major issue with this: Search engines don't care if
you write "THIS MAY BE OUT OF DATE" on the page. It's a perennial
problem that search engines keep linking out of date material just
because such material tends to be linked more (simply because of age).

There are few tings as infuriating as going through a bunch of search
results and getting pages from 10 years ago.
