Is the Vertica Hardware Guide still valid? (not changed since 9.x)

We are still referring customers to https://www.vertica.com/kb/GenericHWGuide/Content/Hardware/GenericHWGuide.htm and it was written quite some time back. Is the Vertica team going to publish an updated guide? If not, should we stop referring new customers to this URL?

Current documentation offers a guide at https://docs.vertica.com/12.0.x/en/setup/set-up-on-premises/before-you-install/platform-and-hardware-requirements-and-recommendations/
The documentation links to the following KB article for sizing: https://www.vertica.com/kb/Recommendations-for-Sizing-Vertica-Nodes-and-Clusters/Content/Hardware/Recommendations-for-Sizing-Vertica-Nodes-and-Clusters.htm
You can also consult Vertica support or field team for sizing advice.
Note that the KB article you mention https://www.vertica.com/kb/Recommendations-for-Sizing-Vertica-Nodes-and-Clusters/Content/Hardware/Recommendations-for-Sizing-Vertica-Nodes-and-Clusters.htm still has a link at the bottom to the outdated page https://www.vertica.com/kb/GenericHWGuide/Content/Hardware/GenericHWGuide.htm which was the source of my concern.
