Tempting, yes.  And it would make life easier.  But I suspect we still
have a number of 3.x users out there, poor bastards.

At once point there was discussion of having an all-signing,

version-specific FAQs.  This would be ideal.  While nothing has ever
happened with that, if someone feels ambitious this is the time to
take it on.  :-)
