I agree they are old, but they are *not* poorly maintained.
There is a strict policy that changes to the code *must*
be accompanied by documentation updates, and contributed
documentation patches are quickly integrated (more quickly
than code changes). So from a maintenance point of view,
the documentation is at a better standing than the code.
