I recently discussed the merit of keeping no-longer-relevant Comments around with Michael Mrozek.

Scenarios:

• OP follows a suggestion by a commenter, something like add output of the exact error message when you...
• A commenter mentions some info that is outdated, like Squeeze is still in freeze....

In these cases (and maybe more I'm not thinking of), is it okay to ask OP to delete the Comment?

I would like to hear what others think, so we can have a guideline that we can follow.
