Please put a date somewhere on the front page.

It's the submitter's responsibility not to submit a link about a defunct project, something they can quickly determine.

It's readers' responsibility not to blindly upvote items like this because of the title.

I'm just requesting a common bit of content on web page; it wasn't really anything to do with HN.

In this particular case my immediate thought was what is its relationship to plan9port and a date would have helped.

All web pages for projects, codes, blogs, should have a bunch of fairly standard things such as dates, news, about, source url, and a bunch of other stuff.

plan9 (and Go) people seem to have a bit of disdain for dates and version numbers which I actually find admirable in a way. Heroic and futile but admirable :)

I'm really complaining more generally than about what you said. I don't think you're asking anything unreasonable, really.
