Comment (by DrewAPicture):

 Replying to [comment:13 chriscct7]:
 > The information is custom to the current codex, so the proposal is to
 just not change the current codex then, since that information wouldn't be
 auto-carried over?

 Correct. The problem is that since these particular Codex articles are
 already [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
 /15hpEbbnuWJZ0DJafyCeG3CFRMtSxX1gY-RObrrjzzdw/edit#gid=0 mid-migration]
 (as are many many others), at some point we can't guarantee that anything
 new that gets added is going to be carried over. The best thing we can do
 is solidify the inline docs as the canonical source of information. This
 is why changelog entries for significant functionality changes are
 important, they preserve the history when read out of context.

 If there's supplemental info – that is to say something we don't want to
 bloat the inline docs with – for the time being, submitting that as a
 "user contributed note" to the code reference article(s) is the best way
 to ensure it gets carried over.
