Truth should neither go out of fashion nor have a statute of
limitations.  Not only the systems you mention, but Usenet haven't
gone away.  Usenet posts are permanent, and old for far, far longer
than they're new.  Some future reader will benefit from both your
comments for far, far longer than a month from now.  If there are
facts to add, it's never too late.

So you go right on ahead and comment whenever you deem it relevant.
