While we don't currently have a drop-off implemented for old/stale data, it will be added in likely early next year. If you want to make sure you're included at any time clicking update without any changes will update the last time you edited them.
The drop-off for old data will be done in months, since people aren't likely to change hardware that often.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
I expect AMD GPUs adoption rate to accelerate next year, if AMD will sort out availability issues. Mesa is close to getting ahead of Nvidia blob in most aspects (Vulkan still needs stronger push).
Xbox 360? Okay, got it, seems like the standard PC controller even though I don't like it and use dual shock instead. But really, Steam Controller? I can't get used to that piece of hardware...
For most games, you can use it without even touching the touch pads (not for twin-stick shooters, obviously). I do like these, though, they gave me a better feeling for the mouse cursor in the first second than I ever had from any laptop touchpad.
Should I say "never" if it was over 5 years ago?
I'd say more than a year qualifies as "I never use it".
Well... changing to "never" then.
First, I want to second Liam, this is not a pissing contest by any stretch. Second, years old tech is hardly outdated let alone something to think of as "letting down" the Linux community. Even in the Windows space of three years ago, when I stopped duel booting and went 100% Linux, my PC (mostly in service since 2010 and not exactly high tier tech when I bought it*) was still solidly capable for both gaming and core productivity using both FOSS and proprietary tools.
