If you think so, perhaps it's because it's hidden? :-) :-/
I really believe that impression can change if we give it a
chance to see the daylight.  (If we don't believe it, IMHO we
should instead remove it.)

On the other hand, I don't think it's outdated more than to the
level of perhaps some details.  Or I should rather say it's
surprisingly up-to-date: I could not find anything glaringly
outdated at a glance.  It gives the wannabe BFD hacker a fair
chance to understand the purpose rather than just the
implementation.  Or something.  Let's just say it deserves more
attention.

The same goes more or less for gas/doc/internals.texi.
