Merge table
Seems to be multiple tables of Gramps version related information with slightly different columns, would anybody be opposed to me merging a few table to make it simpler to maintain? Also Copy blog article here? If no one is opposed? https://gramps-project.org/blog/2006/04/looking-back-over-5-years/

Too much information in table makes content difficult for readers to assimilate.
But maybe we should look for way a master table could drive subsets of data?

Yes, aside from the added context of date, the XML Schema makes the 1st table superfluous. (It is also a bit too 'technical' for a good history page.)
The comparative Navigator bars is nice. It has a nostalgic feel that fits a 'History' page. But the main page comparison is a bit too much.
