That sort of editing, sticking little sentences in without regard to the article as a whole, or even the immediately surrounding paragraphs, is very prevalent at Wikipedia and is one of the major causes of pages degrading over time. It does not work well.Well, even a vague note on the page something like:"Some of this seems to be out of date with the advent of systemd and its adoption in Debian starting with version n.n (<Toy Story name>). If you can contribute anything more to this story, please do."...would be a start.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/388427/ at Stack Exchange is an example of the effect of such things. The relevant wiki page was annotated with precisely that sort of thing, https://wiki.debian.org/motd?action=diff&rev1=15&rev2=16, placing a paragraph at the top that said that the rest of the page was out of date as of Debian 7. You can see from the Stack Exchange question the confusion that this causes for readers. Ironically, the wiki page answers the question in a single sentence. But the answer for what Debian does nowadays is buried for the reader under a morass of what Debian used to do, and did not get seen at all, resulting in the person coming to Stack Exchange in the first place.
