Comment (by carter):

 strict rule for which? by rule I meant: that the OS X section section
 should show only  most current GHC HEAD and RELEASE build directions, and
 those wanting older versions should just look at the pages history. If
 only to make sure that the people who are reading it (likely first time
 GHC contributors almost exclusively)  have clear simple directions. So
 more like an information policy to make it less confusing for folks to get
 started? not sure.

 That change in language is a good one, though maybe it should say
 something about "open a ticket or email ghc-devs if you're unsure and
 would like feedback before making the change". That said, theres
 definitely value in keeping the conversation history on Trac in a tracked
 (hah) way. If you know what youre doing, the WIKI, unlike ghc's git repo,
 doesnt have a code review process! Or at least, theres not so many people
 making general audience wiki edits, so that sort of review process isn't
 needed? IDK, i wonder how larger projects navigate this stuff.

 Either way, this is valuable stuff to do/ask about! Thank you! (and keep
 at it!)
