Yeah. This is part of the issue that legislative codification is supposed to deal with. A new law is often making a diff to the old one, and you can either keep a pile of diffs in hand and work out what the current state is in your head, or you can try to make sure there is a 'master version' (the Code) which you keep patching and can check out a fresh version of when you need to read it.

England and Wales (my home jurisdiction) doesn't have either criminal or civil codes as such, but it does do a fair number of consolidating statutes - almost exactly like this new RFC. The Sexual Offences Act 2003, for example, made some changes but also consolidated the current state of sexual offences law into a single Act[0]. (You can also now see the 'as amended' versions on the web for all Acts, which is useful. If you want to know which bits of Magna Carta are still in force, well now you can[1]. This Act has the additional problem that source control was fairly shoddy in 1297 and it's not entirely clear what the actual text in force is...)
