   So.. should 359.1 be considered "decomissioned"? ..and never to     
   be used?  If not, maybe the userguide can be archived with the     
   program since they really go well together.   
      
   However, I am full supporter of avoiding programs that have     
   operational issues and limitations that interfere with a     
   pleasant consistent experience.

   Isn't the install and the initial step-by-step process about     
   the same?

   Maybe I can simply create a link to the CONS for 359.1 to point     
   to a subpage or something.  Meanwhile, the main table could be     
   populated with pending CONS for the latest version?
