Thanks for that.

It becomes a bit messy when talking about something that was removed  
or changed somewhat significantly; an outdated example[*] would be a  
discussion of exiscan (when it existed as a patch to exim) in the  
same document as the data acl.

IMHO as it is, the docs are a bit easier for someone totally new to  
exim to follow based on whatever (supported) version of exim they  
find themselves starting with.
