==Rapidly dated information==

I think it's utterly pointless to include information that is ''guaranteed'' to be out of date quickly. Saying that development was still proceding as of September, 2004 is effectively a statement that will need to be updated every single month (assuming that development really is continuing). Giving the version number of the last release is again another piece of information that is likely to need to be updated. What useful purpose does this information serve? For example, what information does "version 4.2.1" provide to the reader? The article doesn't bother to give any additional information about Self's version history. To someone who's not already quite familiar with Self's development, "version 4.2.1" is just a meaningless number. It's worth noting that this kind of information is against [[Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly|policy]].
