Software "timeline"?

[mcdermd]

I have a friend that sent me an email with an interesting question:

For a long time, I've wished there were a website or database that provided a timeline of various components of the Mac OS - such as Apple Talk - that lists in which OS version particular components show up and how long they stick around.

It does seem like something that would be interesting and possibly useful. Does anybody know of such a thing?

I've seen some hardware timelines and Mac OS timelines on Wikipedia. But nothing for software components. That would be something we could add to our wiki. AppleTalk was introduced with Mac OS 7, but works as far back as 6 and the last for native AppleTalk was 10.2 right? (10.5 was the last for AppleShare IP.)
