For http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html, I have emailed the author.

Hello Mikhail,

Seven years ago you wrote a helpful article "An Introduction to Cabal sandboxes". Thanks for your contribution to the Haskell ecosystem!

http://coldwa.st/e/blog/2013-08-20-Cabal-sandbox.html

Unfortunately the page still appears in search engine queries for cabal, despite being very outdated. Sandboxes are no longer supported in the lastest cabal! I was wondering if you would consider removing it, or at least marking it very prominently with a warning like

"WARNING: This page is severely outdated. Do not refer to this page for modern cabal usage."

Out-of-date documentation can be very confusing to new users. See this message from a user just today:

https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2020-December/133139.html

Thanks,

Tom
