Sometimes people get stuck on an old version of a tool chain. For them, stackoverflow may be the last option they have because Google only ranks links for the new versions.

“Obsolete” isn’t a flag, it’s a version number, or even a range. This solution doesn’t work with 3.0. This one is deprecated in 3.5.

But since semver is neither universal nor infallible, you’d have to actually model languages and libraries, with a curated list of version numbers. Which is awkward when you built your entire categorization system on tagging with strings instead of modeling problem domains.
