You make the assumption that the value of the original RQ2 review is for 
the benefit of Chaosium.
The reverse is potentially more problematic.
On the simple side, it is a misrepresentation.
On the complex side, a sense of history and comparative perspective is 
lost, or at least harder to access, for newer players.

But then as you allude to, people are people, marketing is marketing, 
and no one remembers. Which is all double plus good.
