CentOS docs - Oct 2010 - but what if i don't care about centos 4?

absolutely serious question -- i appreciate that it's important to
still document how things are done in centos 4, but i have precisely
zero interest in that.  given how long centos 5 has been out, and that
centos 6 is not that far down the road given the alleged release
schedule for RHEL 6 (rumoured end of year), i plan on investing my
time in centos 5 and 6 exclusively.

  so while i'm more than happy to write/update docs, i won't be
spending any time whatsoever with centos 4.  so what does one do under
those circumstances?  again, this is a perfectly serious question.  i
know it's not fair to short-change centos 4 -- i just have no interest
in it.

Perhaps it bit you or something or rubbed you the wrong way? 

Ohh, CentOS 4 is getting jealous already.  Where's the love?

a) If there already is a page describing CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 uses a
different approach: Keep the content as is, mark it as "This is how to
do it in 4" and then add a "And this is how to do it in 5"
section.

b) If there is no page describing things for 4, and 5 uses a different
approach: Add documentation for 5 and clearly state on the page, that
this is (probably) only valid on 5.

c) If both use the same approach: Nothing to do there, maybe a short
mention that it can be used on both.

When 6 comes out, the same approach seems to be doable.
