Outdated or not, it doesn't matter at this point.
Til today I still do positionals and I don't care what anyone said.
I even do positionals in Shroud mode when I play Rpr.
You do you, I do mine. It's not effect anyone in anyway.

Also, There is no need for the dev. thinking of positionals when they're designing the mechanics.
The players will get around that on their own.
