Lists marked "may be obsolete" #229
English is not my first language, so I suppose I picked the wrong word... So "outdated" is your definitive suggestion?
From various dictionaries, I see "out of date" is a common definition for "obsolete", so it doesn't look like the word is wrong.
Well, outdated could mean the same. But 'obsolete' makes me think it's about the list itself, while 'outdated' makes me think it means my local copy of the list. For instance, if my package manager says a certain package is outdated, I'd update it; if it says it's obsolete, I'd remove it, permanently.
However, considering uBlock's (probably) used by people who're not quite as tech-savvy as you or me are, I think something along the lines of 'new version might be available' is much less likely to be misinterpreted.
Ok I will use "outdated", as internally this is really what happens: if the list is too old, it is labelled as such.
I assume this means they're outdated? Obsolete could be interpreted as being permanent, i.e. that the list is no longer necessary.
