I think it's still usable, it just shouldn't be a first choice. Like 
"Creating a simple Contacts DB" is still a great introductory explainer 
about using ViewTemplates. 

Not everything that is old is undesirable. I hope. "Obsolete" suggests 
unusable or that there is a replacement, which isn't always the case. 
I've already started using "Deprecated" for things that have an official 
counterpart. 

Now I'm resorting to look at the thesaurus. Maybe "*Oldish*" which isn't 
quite so strong as "old" ?

Heh. Maybe Ebay terms like "*For-parts-only*" .
