No, the abstract has been retrofitted to the current state of things,
and it explicitly mentions now that it is not a roadmap of "things to
come", but a document of historical significance.

The lessons it contains are described in the context of the older 5.X
release series, so it is not a good idea to barge in and "fix" what is
no longer "current", but the text explains some of the release
engineering challenges the Project faced in the 5.X series, so keeping
it alive (instead of "cvs rm"-ing it) is still useful :)
