I added a warning in the snippet's source-code as a comment.

However, this snippet was already tagged as version-specific, so it
means we were already officially aware that it had some limitations.

In some cases you can update it using convert-ly, but I agree most of
the time it is not quite perfect.

However, I have to tell you that on more than 300 snippets, only 18
are tagged as version-specific (and half of them are actually
demonstrating 2.11 features, so the issue goes both ways). To be
honest, let's not forget that most of the LSR is already functionnal
:)

As a matter of fact, the LSR has never been as "official" as it is
now. I already submitted the idea that we should have in fact two
version of the snippets, one marked as stable and one unstable, but
you know the situation: we lack resources, we lack people, we lack
time etc.

(The search function that keeps outputing results for "ancient" stuff,
as you noticed, is another very unpleasant bug.)

Anyway, I've just sent Sebastiano a large todo-list. Let's first see
if he's available these times, then maybe we'll work with him on it.

Cheers,
