Why? It doesn't seem like time-sensitive content. Should any link to tutorials or documentation also have a date on it?
Perhaps yes. Unless you don't mind kids learning to code like it's 1995 again.

Is it P2P but not decentralized because clients get metadata from supernode1.xorro-p2p.com?

What's wrong with coding like it's 1995? Did I miss some major paradigm shift in programming?
Ok I guess none of those are huge paradigm shifts but in many ways we've gotten pretty spoiled over the past 25 years. A lot of the old struggles have been mitigated at the expense of a lot of cpu cycles. NPM is a great example of the unneeded waste that has accumulated over that time.
We went from think about every byte to just tossing everything in and letting a transpiler remove all the fluff. You can certainly make the argument that computers should do that work but I think theres a middle ground between neurotic 1995 and kitchen sink 2019 that we'll hopefully eventually find.

#1 Thanks to the internet, Async has because far more important to understand. #2 CPUs have gotten waaay faster and ram is now plentiful so there's little need for heavy optimization in most cases. #3 you're almost guaranteed to have at least 2 core available so multi-threading is a real option now. #4 monolithic code bases are the devil now #5 some 3rd gen and I think all 4th gen laungages include automatic garbage…
