Hopefully never for many bits. I think several things have been

If something is not very nice, then by all means shunt it off to a
corner of the manual and advertise the good way. But taking stuff out
is bad.

One stable is much too short. Surely it's not reasonable to expect
everyone to review all their programs on every stable release.
