Ok, so let’s say there is an update to a package that isn’t open source. I’m using the new version and can’t figure out why it’s breaking. It has no idea that the new version changed an argument name and the one I’m using is deprecated. Maybe if the release notes are in a place it has access to and can probabilistically relate them together. But if the information isn’t online (not conclusions from data points, but actually missing data points), it can’t solve that. That’s what a lot of stack overflow questions are. That’s way so many are so old… they are asked when the data points don’t exist in an accessible place. If you’re asking a question on stack overflow for data that already exists you’re just going to be pointed to an older ticket.
