I'm not a native speaker (even though I think I wrote that paragraph)
"The latter case" is an english construct "the former case ... the latter
case.". The former refers to the first case (in the sentence "superseded by
different software", the "latter" refers to the second case ("not suitable
for release"). The last sentence referes to the latter and is, IMHO, correct.
But maybe some native speaker will correct me here (Steve Langasek proofread
this, so I'm confident it's ok).
