No guarantees, I'm afraid, but fortunately (?) the rate of change is
limited to how fast people can code.  Anybody who's interested in
trying to do something like this would either need to resign
themselves to an ongoing process of keeping their work up to date, or
resign themselves to having it become out-of-date as development moves
on.
