How big a deal is this? I only just recently started learning programming so I don't know enough to understand the implications.

My comments earlier. Wolfram is a beautiful language with well designed libraries. If you are new to programming, you will learn a lot mucking about with it. It's probably not going to take the world by storm.

I'm not sure whether this is a bigger problem than already exists in general, but if some of the information in the libraries is out of date or just plain wrong, it would be a challenge to notice that there's a problem.
