Re: [csswg-drafts] Versioning policy and backwards incompatible changes (#5114)

This seems like doubling the amount of work for zero benefit. 

As I said in [define <color> by reference to CSS Color 3](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/5298) replacing the entire section with a reference is preferable. It is easy to read and understand.

It is better than adding a reference and leaving the original text, because then people assume they should also read and mentally merge the original text and the new reference.

And even that is better than adding a reference and also maintaining a special, subset version of the new reference, which is a huge amount of work and highly error prone.
