Sorry, I am not that good with english, I meant as the CMake team with
'you'. But the 'CMake team' could do that with new releases, like,
writing this warning with additions in the newer releases.

Or, the easier way, to mantain different versions of the documentation
at the site. This is not difficult, maybe put the latest doc in the
"Documentation" page and down in the "see also" of the documentation a
link to the older ones, or maybe everything in the documentation
page...
