Catalogs are meant to sell parts , not archive them.
The inside outside hinge folding nomenclature is an example.

Dahon celebrated its 35th anniversary by not archiving bikes before 2011.
The only upside of this that I can see is that it causes the less hardy to abandon repairs
and pass older bikes along for parts at a discount
I already have an outside (right hand) folding stem en route.
