Is there any recourse to being down-voted when your answer is valid, correct, previously voted-up but just now becomes out of date because, for example, some ruby gem has been updated and completely changed?

Seems immoral to start voting down because of changes made over time. How can every answer be expected to be managed - a comment is surely suffice?

I almost feel that when downvoting, a small message/warning about it's general extremity should be noted in that orange box.
