Should they be deleted? Closed? Ignored?

I mean, for example, a discussion about something that is no longer present in the code.

It's a good question. In theory the wiki nature of OSQA should allow us to edit/adapt old information to keep it current. The problem is that we're not always sitting around looking at the old stuff to keep an eye on what should be updated.

Maybe we could somehow distribute the load of keeping these things current by having admins/mods occasionally have a popup to look at an aging question to see if it needs any action?

I meant more what is the proper behavior when you stumble upon a question that is clearly stale, and can't be updated. e.g. "Q: My so and so broke. A: Then update to the latest revision -hernani. Comment: That worked, thanks!"
