Helm had written that the 1971 OED entry for 'obsolete, reads: "that which is no longer practiced or used", and was referring to this rumour that the online OED version may have changed that to "that which is no longer PRODUCED or used." We are happy to learn then, that, for the record, no such change has taken place. The positive outcome of the discussion was L. Helm's philosophical commentary on the 'planned obsolescence' concept.
