Can we stop this boneheaded discussion of "obsolete"? The word means
"not current" or "no longer in use". A running program is, by
definition, current and in use. It is therefore not obsolete.

People are using "obsolete" as if it meant "not on the cutting edge
of technology". It means nothing of the sort.

It is obvious and trite that anything that is standing still is
not on the cutting edge.

So what?
