As someone who has, over the last year, built an infrastructure based on 5.8.x, 
and then migrated to 7.4.x, I can sympathize with the poster's comments.
 
I found it confusing to figure out what commands/syntax were applicable to 
which version, which commands/syntax were supported but deprecated, and 
descriptions of options and values, etc..  I think that it would be very useful 
for the documentation site to be updated, and clearly cover the various major 
version groups.  Either as a single document/site with the differences between 
the version laid out inline, or in separate documents/sites.
 
I don't think that there's a need for a separate doc for every minor revision 
of the options/syntax, etc., but there's some pretty significant inflection 
points that are obvious (the module loading example the poster lists is one).
 
Hope this helps.
Robert
