[META] Should we (continue to) allow retro/vintage ads for products that are still available? (sh.itjust.works)

There has been concern that if an ad is for a product someone can still purchase today then it is more an ad, and less something retro/vintage.

Anyone have any thoughts either way? I may do a poll.

Edit: This appears pretty conclusive. There will be no changes at this time. Some have mentioned the lack of hard timeframe but until that becomes an obvious issue is prefer to keep it vague.

Depends on if the nature of the product changes and evolves, how ubiquitous it is, and how aggressively it's currently being advertised.

Coca cola adverts and similar products can go to hell. A motorola advert for a car phone should be allowed.
