It's true, the project is 5+ years old. The industry was very different back then, we were barely starting to think about containers at scale. The cloud was a thing for sure, but the main contributors were mostly working in places with physical infrastructure.
Over the years we've discussed how we can reboot the project. There is always interest and desire, but time is hard to find :) The project will stay up as it is because we still feel there is value in learning the basics.
Over time the understanding of what is "basics" is evolving. This year I'm chairing the SREcon conference in Singapore. The program has a "Core Principles" track which talks about things like deep dives on linux memory management, database indices, how BGP works, etc. There is a lot of desire to still have these super deep dives into underlying technology. I hope we can find a way to turn this into a stronger curriculum with labs and teaching exercises one day :)
