Given the (relativly) fast evolving process of Android development, there will always be obsolete answers. I wonder how to handle these?

I think edit is best when the answer has only changed e.g. for a new release of android.

But what is considered best practice when it comes to a answer like thisthis? I am not sure, but I think the Market update, which brought multi-account support, was rolled-out on every Android devices (or >= 2.0?). The answer suggests a factory reset, where nowadays some clicks will do it. What possibilities are there to fix this?
