It would take someone who actually knows React writing an answer that explains how it is different. Usually newbies are not in a position to understand when version differences are relevant and when they aren't.

On SO, it's often best if questions are somewhat version agnostic, and different answers address different questions.

Yep, this is their 'way' but what I think @fragmede is getting at is, how can you know your question will be redundant next week. I prefer the 'duplicate' idea, where the user actually links the old question and says "hey this didn't work because X Y Z", then (in most cases) people will engage with the question as it demonstrates a level of effort.
