   There's been some discussion in this thread about automatically avoiding   
   very old articles.   
      
   That's fine if you want to do that, but I don't think it's worth the   
   effort.  This is likely to be a one-time event caused by an old   
   hierarchy being restored.  I don't think it's likely to happen again.
