That's actually a good idea, It's not ordered that way, but it saves
some work in the long run.

Maybe make the color a bit lighter, then it would be easier to read,
but otherwise its neat :-).

I wouldn't mind dropping or replacing the v0.3 content with the
current information. Don't think that it has anything but sentimental
value. And it will still be there in the article history, should
anyone need to look at it.

But I'm not opposed to simply moving it somewhere either.
