I think the extra info is necessary and adding another layer of eyeballs is taking up a bunch of time this late in the game. Unless one can map it and parse into a different format for easy searching/use? Always a chance of losing data there. Whatever, it has to be accepting of evolution as others will disappear over time, either source of item.
This is what happens with anybody can post things, they get disheveled over time. 'WIKI' anything is notorious.
I, too, think retaining the obsolete info, maybe as sub category, is still useful, Superceding parts always occurs. It may help run something down. I keep reman info and P/Ns for that reason. Never know what pops up. If you only look for one thing, one way, you may miss a gem. It's only going to get tighter going forward for P stuff, so plan accordingly.
